Hi,
I was recently playing around a bit with history4feed in the context of preparation of a research project.
Nice tool! Was working pretty well after simply building and starting the docker container composition.
However, I see the problem that after restarting the system (e.g. docker compose stop; docker compose up) the containers start again but no further posts are logged to the database. I assume there is a little trick I don’t see.
Maybe you have a quick idea where to look for the problem?
Best regards
Stephan
Hey @StephanB
When you say:
However, I see the problem that after restarting the system (e.g. docker compose stop; docker compose up) the containers start again but no further posts are logged to the database. I assume there is a little trick I don’t see.
Can you explain in a bit more detail?
H4F does not automatically poll for new posts. You need to manually request new posts using feed/<ID>/fetch
Thanks a lot for your quick reply!
This basically already answers my misunderstanding. As the system did initially start to fetch posts automatically I assumed this would be the normal behaviour, especially after restart.
Requesting new posts manually solved my issue!
Kind regards
Stephan
