Hi,
we are trying to set up the Almond Cloud in our local network and when we followed the installation guide we were able to bootstrap and run the almond front- and back-end, but when logging in with the root user it shows “your almond is dead” with the E_WORKER_ERROR
(Unfortunately I cannot upload any media files it seems. I am a new user)
Any suggestions on how to solve that?
Hi @Pollux05, welcome to the Almond community.
Did you see any error in the terminal when you ran the backend? Are you running with or without sandbox?
Thanks for your reply @gcampax !
We skipped the sandbox part but also skipped this:
Note: If you skip this step, set THINGENGINE_DISABLE_SANDBOX=1 in your environment.
In case that could be a cause: can you explain where exactly this is to set “in our environment”? We are running it on a ubuntu Linux environment. Where do you set that variable? (Sorry we are absolute newbies)
Also, this is the error in the terminal when we run the Backend:
almond-cloud almond-run
Spawning process with ID 0/S0
Spawning process with ID 0/S1
Spawning process with ID 0/S2
Spawning process with ID 0/S3
Spawning process with ID 1
Spawning process with ID 2
Child with ID 1 exited with code 1
User 1 failed to start: Exited with code 1
Child with ID 2 exited with code 1
User 2 failed to start: Exited with code 1
“Almond is dead” error only comes up with the user types “developer” and “tester”.
Another error after running the command:
almond-cloud run-frontend --port 8080

Thanks in advance for any tips and help!
“The environment” means the environment variables in the terminal tab (or screen/tmux session) where you run the backend.
You set the environment variable with the command:
export THINGENGINE_DISABLE_SANDBOX=1
