Mac OS fails to resolve api.foldingathome.org:443

[calxalot]

Because the PUT is failing, your local client is probably not registered with the account.
If you can see and edit the machine name in the accounts page, you can fix it and link.
The machine name cannot have any spaces or periods.

Thank you once again calxalot, but I am unable to fix the name and link the machine to the account, as we were discussing in a separate topic:
viewtopic.php?t=41221

Any ideas welcome.

[calxalot]

The first machine is direct connected, not necessarily linked to account.
"MacMini.local" needs to lose the ".local".

[enroscado]

Indeed.

However, as explained on the other topic: when I edit the name (deleting.local) and click link, it does not save, and the "Save" button remains greyed out...

[calxalot]

I can tell you later how to link via python websockets module command line.

[enroscado]

Great, thank you.

Please try (macOS only):

Edit config.xml to have your desired machine display name.

Code: Select all

sudo /usr/bin/nano /Library/Application\ Support/FAHClient/config.xml

The name can only have letters, numbers, underscore, dash.
Example config.xml:

Code: Select all

<config>
  <machine-name v="MyMacMini"/>
  <account-token v=""/>
</config>

Log out from account in web control.

Install lufah

Code: Select all

VENV="$HOME/.venv/lufah"
python3 -m venv "$VENV"
source "$VENV/bin/activate"
pip3 install --upgrade lufah

Unlink the client and restart it.
Wait a few seconds for the client to exit before starting it.

Code: Select all

lufah . unlink-account
lufah . stop
lufah . start

Login to web control.
Link machine in accounts page.

Excellent, working!

Thank you calxalot!

Update:
Joseph said the dots in name is supported on
https://alpha.foldingathome.org/

So others shouldn't need the linking workaround above.
