cp /opt/amon/amon.yml /etc/opt/amon/amon.yml fixes this issue (note the /etc).
Of course you should also update the settings in that file.

After a lot of debugging and manual changes I cannot put this to work.
Can anyone help me out there?

• Amon can connect to Mongo 👍
• ERROR: Gunicorn cannot find the static files. I have no idea what's going on

[martinrusev]

@knokio the static files are served by nginx. Gunicorn is a python/wsgi server only

[knokio]

Thank you @martinrusev . Indeed I got too excited and stopped in the middle of the install doc page 🙏
Static files are in but I and things are moving :D Thank you so much.

I'm launching Amon (and it's dependencies) in a Docker. I didn't find any online.
Should I share it?

[martinrusev]

@knokio Sure, you can share. I am very glad it worked

[bigcalm]

@alexanderhofstaetter to address your original issue...

The wheel package is missing, causing a lot of the requirements to fail.

I found that adding pip install wheel just prior to pip install -r /opt/amon/requirements.txt allowed the rest of the packages to install correctly.

[DerDanilo]

adding pip install wheel just prior to pip install -r /opt/amon/requirements.txt allowed the rest of the packages to install correctly.

We should be adding this to the manual for others to find.

[bigcalm]

I ended up documenting my own experience in getting amon working: http://myrant.net/2017/11/25/setting-up-an-on-premise-instance-of-amon/ & https://github.com/bigcalm/amon-server

[martinrusev]

@bigcalm Your bash scripts look good, maybe we can wrap them in an official Ansible playbook?

[bigcalm]

@martinrusev feel free to work with the scripts.
Attribution would be welcomed :)
