dev.blawx is down

[piers109uk]

Hi, I've been looking to play around with Blawx, but the demo url appears to be down. When I visit https://dev.blawx.com/ I get "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN"

I also haven't been able to build the image locally or access the app on http://localhost:8000 after running docker run --platform linux/amd64 run lexpedite/blawx (I am on an M2 machine).
Here's what I get when building from source:

Happy to provide additional info. Any suggestions on how I can play around with the app?

I've also been seeing this issue. Did a little bit of digging, and found that there were some recent updates to some deeper dependencies, namely pldoc. Looks like it may be caused by a change introduced on Mar 16, but then it appears to have been fixed on Apr 21. I suspect the changes just haven't gone out yet, but we can use swipl:stable (currently v9.2.9) instead of latest (currently v9.3.23).

@Gauntlet173 I'd be happy to make a PR for it if I am given write access.

In the meantime, you can simply change swipl:latest to swipl:stable at the top of the Dockerfile, and it should work.

I can confirm that is the fix, and SWIPL maintainer reports that the fix is already in the pipeline, just waiting for a new release.

@reganmeloche You can fork and make a PR without needing access to the main repo. But I'm not sure if it makes sense to pin just that one thing and then hope that later I remember to unpin it...

Maybe the right way to handle it is just to leave this issue open until SWIPL fixes it.
