No menu When clicking SSH

[AlJeske]

This is exactly what happened to me, no menu (connecting to serial ports disabled) I have already been using Xdrip+ and want to be able to show my Endocrinologist the data. Setup is: Dexcom G6=>Xdrip+=>Aaps. If there is a better way for the Endo to see my progress, let me know and I will forego the Nightscout-google cloud endeavor. No Menu When I click SSH.
Sorry I didn't know how to start the discussion. I hope this is the right place.

[Navid200]

When you say to show data to your Endocrinologist, do you mean to create a report to show him, or to let him see your readings all the time as a follower?

If you want someone to follow you, there is an alternative. That's xDrip Sync, which is much simpler than Nightscout to set up.
You can see here how to set it up:

Regardless, Nightscout has other benefits. it can serve as a repository of your readings. Therefore, if one day you lose your phone, you will not lose all your readings. They will all be on Nightscout.

Now, if you like to troubleshoot your Nightscout:
Please click on SSH and wait for the windows to come up. Please take a screenshot and post here so that I can see what you see.

[AlJeske]

Nothing happens when I click SSH. The idea was to create a report for him.

[Navid200]

You say nothing happens when you click on SSH.
I don't even see an instance there.

Did you follow this guide?
https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Nightscout/GoogleCloud.html

[AlJeske]

What can I show you if nothing happens? And yes that is the guide I'm following. I waited at least 15 min. I showed you the page where I clicked on the instance-1 page and showed that connecting to a serial port is disabled--wondered if that has anything to do with problem.

[Navid200]

It looks like you have clicked on the instance instead of clicking on SSH on the right side.

Click on the arrow I have circled in the attached image to exit the instance details.

This page explains how you can use SSH to connect to the machine.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Not true. I clicked on SSH many times before I clicked on instance 1

[Navid200]

Post a screenshot of what you clicked on.
It should not be on the instance detail page that you are showing.
It should be here:

[Navid200]

When did you create this Nightscout, a few months ago or a few days ago?

[AlJeske]

Yesterday.

When you created the machine yesterday, were you able to use SSH to connect?

[AlJeske]

[AlJeske]

Wait, if you mean nigthscout itself many months ago

Sorry, I have a hard time understanding you.

If you created this machine a long time ago, it is possible you are experiencing this problem:
https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Nightscout/FullDisk.html

[AlJeske]

Machine: yesterday, Nightscout originally in Heroku long time ago but never really used. So probably not fullDisk problem.

[Navid200]

If you created the machine yesterday, you can delete it and create a new one.

Follow the steps. As soon as you get to a point that something unexpected happens, let me know. You can look at all the steps in video clips.
If you experience anything different than what is shown in the video clips, please stop and let me know. Please don't continue.

[AlJeske]

Ok will do.

[Navid200]

Thanks

After I see what happens, it is quite possible that I will see something that I have not explained clearly in the guide and I will then be able to improve the guide so that others will not experience the same problem.

Thanks

[AlJeske]

Ok I will do my best to let you know what went wrong with my attempt. I'm using Firefox browser.

Navid , Overnight I had the idea to try a different browser with the VM I created. This is the screen shot of what happened when I copied the URL from Firefox to Edge. I then clicked on SSH and up came the: SSH-in-browser shown in the screeen shot. So looks like Google Cloud doesn't like Firefox browser???

[Navid200]

If the browser blocks pop-ups, SSH will not be able to connect because it needs to open a new window.

Thanks for reminding me of this. I will add this note to the guide.

Please continue with the installation when you like and keep me posted.

Thanks

[AlJeske]

Will do, thanks!

[AlJeske]

Here is where I get stuck now. It recycles me to SSH again. Not sure about the VM User ID (couldn't find it on top right of VM screen) and Password

[Navid200]

I thought you said Edge worked and Firefox didn't.
Did you change Firefox permissions so that it would work?

[AlJeske]

Yes I did. Maybe I have to complete with Edge??? I will try with Edge tomorrow.

[Navid200]

So, do you experience the same problem with Edge?

[AlJeske]

Before I went to Edge I went to Firefox and allowed all popups whereas previously allowed popups from only VM Console.cloud.google. It worked now and I'm part 5: Setting up Nightscout. I appreciate your help with the pop-up problem. I'm hoping to get through this 😔 without anymore problems.

👍 Setting up Nightscout now. Do I need to go to discussion to say RESOLVED?

[Navid200]

The discussions are quite flexible.
You can do whatever you like.
I'm glad it worked out.

[AlJeske]

I APPRECIATE your help and your involvement with Xdrip+ and google cloud/Nightscout!
