I recommend WebRTC, it's the difference between being normal, and being insanely fast.

Is that another line - like
"WebRTC": true,
?

OK I looked it up in the manual - yes it is.. I just haven't gotten that far yet, I'm still trying to get LE to work.

We moved to it early and really prefer it.

Dashrender

OK weirdness - I followed the instructions to make mcstart and mcstop.. yet mcstop doesn't work... but if I type it in by hand

sudo ./pkill -f node_modules/meshcentral

it does kill it.
here is the ls -l

Thanks.

Here is my current config.json

Here is the directory listing from /opt/meshcentral/meshcentral-data

here is the error in /opt/meshcentral/stdout.txt when I load MC
ERROR: Unable to parse /opt/meshcentral/meshcentral-data/config.json.

@Dashrender Use cat, not tail, to show us the config.

@Dashrender Extra comma at the end before the final brace.

They look the same to me, in this case. But yeah, cat for this purpose 100%.

Yep, that was it.. now I get
and error use --cert to setup the default server name ...

I notice it's commenting on LAN mode - but my config has WANonly listed

Dashrender

The WAN mode might be a case problem, from the manual

in looking through the documentation - I've now found this option referenced three ways
WANonly/wanonly/Wanonly
I'm wondering if it should be WANOnly - cap the whole acronym and the first letter of the second word.

Dashrender

OK Changed the caps in WANonly to Wanonly and no change - still reports at LAN mode

OK found my issue here - type-o, I had mode instead of node in my command. that's working now.
But I still have the cert error when starting MC.

type-o, I

wtf

Dashrender

OK I think I know why WANOnly isn't working - because MC doesn't think I have a cert name specified.

I started the process manually adding a --cert command and this is what I get.

Notice the --cert error is still there - now the question is, WHY?

Dashrender

OK - FINALLY - it's working!!!!

As part of my troubleshooting, I added "Cert": "host.domainname.com", back to the config.json (which got rid of the associated error message) now to see if it will work without it.

Dashrender

I know others are saying that

 "Cert": "host.domainname.com",

isn't needed in the config.json file, but mine wouldn't pull an LE cert until I added it.

Here is my config.json

{
  "__comment__" : "This is a sample configuration file, edit a section and remove the _ in front of the name. Refer to the user's guide for details.",
  "settings": {
    "Cert": "mc.beyondxxxxxxx.com",
    "RedirPort": 80,
    "MaxInvalidLogin": { "time": 10, "count": 10, "coolofftime": 10 },
    "Wanonly": true
  },
  "letsencrypt": {
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "names": "mc.beyondxxxxxxx.com",
    "rsaKeySize": 3072,
    "production": false
  }
