I think there is a CLI only version with a separate GUI, though I never tried it.

Yes, there's a JSON API and two web interfaces. I looked into the new one, but it's also necessary to compile Retroshare and the lack of documentation discouraged me.
I eventually bought the computer, and yesterday I set it up. Since I won't have a screen connected to it, I studied the options there are for remote desktop, and I ran into xpra. With xpra, you don't even need a desktop environment, so you can do it even on a server/VPS. You just need to install xorg and xpra.
The advantage of this application is that you can watch only the program you want, having it on a window, as if it were in your own computer. Then you can exit keeping it in the background.
These are the commands I'm following:
On the Server
Create a xpra server instance in which retroshare is going to be opened automatically. The number 100 in every command is the id of the instance.
Code:
xpra start :100 --start=retroshareOn the Client
Whenever you want to operate with Retroshare, attach you client to the server you created in the previous step.
Code:
xpra attach ssh:user@host:100Code:
xpra detach ssh:user@host:100On the Server
If you ever want to stop the xpra instance we created on the first step, use this command.
Code:
xpra stop :100My next challenge will be finding out how to restart it when Retroshare suddenly closes. The tricky part will be entering the password. Let's see.

I also noticed that after several hours (~12 hours), Retroshare can even make the computer crash, having to restart it.
At the beginning I thought it was because of my old laptop, but now that I moved it to the miniPC, it's happing too. I'm using the same SO and Retroshare bin though.

I know that there have been at least 3 other posts about trouble with forums, boards, chats, and channels, but I have plenty of friends and was subbed to a number of forums which have all now disappeared. I am also getting notifications of new boards and forums, but they all give the "Loading..." bug indefinitely.
I even tried to migrate my profile and friends list to a fresh install, but I am still running into the same issue.
Has anyone that has dealt with this managed to solve it?

"Loading" or "Missing Message"
Did you try to remove "gxsforums*" files from your RS directory?

im new, did I do it right?
Yes, but it's not a TOR account, your IP address is visible.
Honestly, I can't get Tor to work. I have followed the instructions.

Hi, I used this tutorial and found it easy to follow and it works for me: https://www.likera.com/forum/mybb/Thread-RetroShare?pid=43869#pid43869
Also:
- I installed a portable RetroShare-with-Tor on my Windows PC.
- Very important step at the beginning after you open RetroShare and try to create your account, is to select the "Hidden node (over Tor)" from the dropdown.
- I imported XML file with a list of certificates from this forum: https://www.likera.com/forum/mybb/Thread-RetroShare-certs?pid=58369#pid58369
- And I published my certificate in the RetroShare certs forum in long (old) format without any other text in my post: https://www.likera.com/forum/mybb/Thread-RetroShare-certs (This way is bigger chance that my certificate will be added to the next xml list automatically.)
Good luck!
RE: RetroShare - dhf7b8g - 18 Sep 2023
I am finally no longer busy and decided to setup retroshare on my headless server. No more running a VM on my host system whenever I remember to!!
The cli version with a webui was a huge pain so I ignored it after a day of trying to compile and make it work and went for a very fancy docker container instead.
My retroshare uptime should now be very high (minus my server updates every few weeks and whenever it crashes without me noticing) I have a few site rips planned due to having some more storage available so I should be adding some more content soon 😊
