2022-04-18 07:21:41 UTC - John Norris: A few years back I built a local openwhisk installation by cloning the git repo and then using vagrant and that worked.
I am looking at the docker containers on the docker hub and the "obvious" one to go for is standalone. Or is it?
I have run that container and though it works, I am having trouble accessing any samples under guest as authentication is not authorised.
Are there better containers to run? And what is the difference between standalone and controller and invoker?

2022-04-18 08:50:26 UTC - John Norris: I am trying to use the serverless framework with openwhisk. Serverless is set up on the PC and that connects with a VM running the standalone imagefrom docker. Both the playground and api (3232, 3233) are accessible via the PC browser. Ping works in the terminal.
Just using a default generated openwhisk / node project, serverless deply gives the following
PS C:\GitWork\openwhisk\project> serverless deploy

Error:
OpenWhiskError: Unknown Error From API: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND mint20-openwhisk

There is a warning. And Deployment is successful! But then I get the OpenWhiskError&gt; It could not find mint20-openwhisk - the VM that is running openwhisk standalone image.

Yet if I invoke the function, I do get a result.

PS C:\GitWork\openwhisk\project&gt; serverless invoke --function hello

1 deprecation triggered in the last command:

CLI options definitions were upgraded with "type" property (which could be one of "string", "boolean", "multiple"). Below listed plugins do not predefine type for introduced options:
 - OpenWhiskConfigCredentials for "apihost", "auth"
Please report this issue in plugin issue tracker.
Starting with next major release, this will be communicated with a thrown error.
More info: <https://serverless.com/framework/docs/deprecations/#CLI_OPTIONS_SCHEMA_V3>

Is the openwhisk plugin for the serverless framework the responsibility of the openwhisk or serverless?

So quite a few questions but they all revolve around the use of serverless FW and openwhisk.
