That should be an intermittent error. You could also change nodes by editing drphil.yml:
:chain_options:
:chain: steem
:url: https://api.steemit.com
... to something else like:
:chain_options:
:chain: steem
:url: https://gtg.steem.house:8090
Or pick a different node from this list: https://geo.steem.pl/
Thanks I will try that. Excellent customer service btw.!!! as always.
More info:
You said that the bundler can ask for sudo permission if needed. It didn't.
At first I ran it with sudo (broke the install as you said it would) trashed that VM
Next I read the errors. Gave it read write permission for the directories in could not write to
one: var/lib/gems/
the other was: usr/local/bin
Since the bot is the only thing running - I have no security issues in giving those permissions.
It worked after doing those things. Your work is really interesting. I used to do a lot of programming and would love to see what is under the hood with ruby and gems. Finding the time...
I looked through all my phones and found an installed discord. I was not able to find you or Fyrst, but I will get back to you. Cheers!
