Sites to white list

rush_tech · June 25, 2019, 9:18am

Hi
I work at a school and we are looking at using defold. We have installed it but when we select a new template with a blank template it reaches out to the internet and gets blocked by our filter.
Is there a list of site to whitelist?

Thanks

For templates to work, github.com should be there on the list (probably port 443 and port 22 both)

And obviously anything *.defold.com
https://build.defold.com is mandatory, for example, if you want to use native extensions.

Exciting! I’d really like to learn more about your plans for Defold in a school context! We’ve collaborated with schools and done programming meetups and summer camps for kids here in Sweden (in collaboration with the non-profit organisation Hello World).

We can download the templates manually but get this from within Defold

Could it be that certain apps are blocked from making connections while others such as your browser is allowed to make the connection?

dapetcu21 · June 25, 2019, 11:24am

Or that Defold is trying to clone the repos from GitHub via SSH (port 22)?

vlaaad · June 25, 2019, 11:27am

Nope, we are downloading links like https://github.com/defold/template-empty/archive/master.zip

Mathias_Westerdahl · June 25, 2019, 11:31am

iirc, the github download links are redirects?

E.g.

$ curl https://github.com/defold/template-empty/archive/master.zip
<html><body>You are being <a href="https://codeload.github.com/defold/template-empty/zip/master">redirected</a>.</body></html>

No we have no restrictions on programs accessing the internet. Which is puzzling us as to why this is happening.

britzl · June 25, 2019, 1:00pm

There must be something with your network preventing the download. @vlaaad can you please confirm that it’s a normal HTTP GET and on port 80 or 443?

Mathias_Westerdahl · June 25, 2019, 1:09pm

Does the editor log mention anything useful?

rush_tech · June 25, 2019, 1:21pm

editor log?

Mathias_Westerdahl · June 25, 2019, 1:46pm

You can view the editor logs via the menu:

And if you check the most recent one, after your error pops up, to see if there’s anything relevant there

Ok yes, I manually loaded a template and was able to access the menus. Here is a log snippet

This looks safe to ignore

rush_tech · June 25, 2019, 2:09pm

Ok I’ve renamed the log file and opened Defold and stopped at receiving the error

vlaaad · June 25, 2019, 2:10pm

I see it can’t check for updates, are you sure it has access to *.defold.com and *.github.com?

britzl · June 25, 2019, 4:29pm

And what if you try to select New Project->Empty Project, wait for it to fail with “Host Unreachable” and check the log?

Or is that what you did here?
