Warning about next-auth version
After npm install or npm ci you can have this warn :
npm WARN EBADENGINE Unsupported engine {
npm WARN EBADENGINE package: 'next-auth@4.14.0',
npm WARN EBADENGINE required: { node: '^12.19.0 || ^14.15.0 || ^16.13.0' },
npm WARN EBADENGINE current: { node: 'v18.12.1', npm: '8.19.2' }
npm WARN EBADENGINE }
The version required by next-auth is 18.12. In any case, the NodeJS version doesn’t really matter for the next-auth library and you can ignore this warning or upgrade your NodeJS.
Change default hostname or port for application
By default the application starts a server on 0.0.0.0:3000 and your application will therefore be accessible on any IP available on your host at port 3000.
If you want to make your application accessible only on localhost:3000 (for use with a proxy for example), edit the package.json file and modify this line :
"start": "next start",
To :
"start": "next start -H localhost",
And, if you want to change the default port (for example 4000), you can change this line like this :
"start": "next start -H localhost -p 4000",
package.json because this file is versioned and your changes will be overwritten every time BorgWarehouse is updated.It is currently not possible to use environment variables for this. I let you refer to this documentation, this issue or this post to help you to go further on this question.
Thank you to Philipp Rintz for its contribution to the reflection on this issue.
Does BorgWarehouse have to be installed on the same server as borgbackup ?
Yes. I am not saying that it is impossible to run BorgWarehouse on a server that would run the shells on another. However, the application is now thought and designed to run on the server that will store the repositories and run the server part of borgbackup.
Thank you to Pierrick Brun for its contribution.
What is the NEXT_TELEMETRY_DISABLED environment variable ?
Next.JS is the amazing open-source web development framework used to build BorgWarehouse. Next.JS can collect completely anonymous telemetry regarding usage. This information is used to shape Next.js’ roadmap and prioritize features.
If you want to help Next.JS by sharing anonymous telemetry, remove this environment variable.
Full documentation about nextJS telemetry is here : https://nextjs.org/telemetry
Can I change the directory /var/borgwarehouse ?
Actually you can’t, I plan to review this, but not immediately. In the meantime you can of course use a symbolic link to place your data directory wherever you want.
Contact the creator ?
