Iota explorer installation fails for private tangle

Question

I'am trying to start the explorer for a private tangle by following the steps in https://github.com/iotaledger/one-click-tangle.

The explorer installation process (running the command: ./tangle-explorer.sh install ../hornet-private-net) end with the following error:

Cloning into './explorer-src'...

cp: cannot create regular file './explorer-src/client/src/assets/config/config.local.json': No such file or directory

It looks like the config directory does not exsist.

If I try to start the explorer (./tangle-explorer.sh start) the explorer-webapp and explorer-api containers are created, but at http://localhost:8082 I get a blank page. Also, the explorer-api container stops continuously.

I've tryed to create the config.local.json manually, but I still get an empty page.

These are my config files:

webapp.config.local.json

{
  "apiEndpoint": "http://localhost:4000",
  "googleAnalyticsId": "GOOGLE-ANALYTICS-ID",
  "identityResolverEnabled": true
}

private-network.json

{
  "network": "tangle",
  "label": "Tangle",
  "provider": "http://node1:14265",
  "protocolVersion": "chrysalis",
  "feedEndpoint": "mqtt://node1:1883",
  "coordinatorAddress": "",
  "primaryColor": "#131F37",
  "secondaryColor": "#485776",
  "isEnabled": true,
  "showMarket": false,
  "order": 0,
  "description": "Private Tangle Network"
}

api.config.local.file

{
  "fixerApiKey": "FIXER-API-KEY",
  "rootStorageFolder": "/app/data/.local-storage",
  "allowedDomains": [
      "*"
  ],
  "verboseLogging": true
}

Looks like that one-click-tangle repo isn't updated for the latest "stardust" version of the Explorer.

The team will fix it, but in the meantime you can try the following (if you can ssh in the running container of the client side AND if i'm correct that you cloned latest main branch): Do the first step explained here under "Configuration" https://github.com/iotaledger/explorer/blob/dev/client/DEPLOYMENT.md

Basically the way that we configure the API_ENDPOINT on the client side has changed meanwhile. I think that's why you are getting a blank page.
