While trying to set up the PostHog locally, I encountered a series of issues related to OpenSSL and the database configuration.

Here is a brief description of what happened:

  1. After resolving a few package-related issues, I ran into an error related to OpenSSL. The error message was:
Error: Configuration property "enable.ssl.certificate.verification" not supported in this build: OpenSSL not available at build time
   at HighLevelProducer.Client (/path/to/plugin-server/node_modules/.pnpm/node-rdkafka-acosom@2.16.1_ts-node@10.9.1_typescript@4.9.5/node_modules/node-rdkafka-acosom/lib/client.js:54:18)
   at HighLevelProducer.Producer (/path/to/plugin-server/node_modules/.pnpm/node-rdkafka-acosom@2.16.1_ts-node@10.9.1_typescript@4.9.5/node_modules/node-rdkafka-acosom/lib/producer.js:75:10)
   at new HighLevelProducer (/path/to/plugin-server/node_modules/.pnpm/node-rdkafka-acosom@2.16.1_ts-node@10.9.1_typescript@4.9.5/node_modules/node-rdkafka-acosom/lib/producer/high-level-producer.js:93:12)
   at createKafkaProducer (/path/to/plugin-server/src/kafka/producer.ts:16:22)
   at createHub (/path/to/plugin-server/src/utils/db/hub.ts:130:47)
   at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)
   at startPluginsServer (/path/to/plugin-server/src/main/pluginsServer.ts:232:56)

I've tried re-installing rdkafka and OpenSSL - found this thread which helped me install OpenSSL without errors but I'm not sure if it completely fixed the root cause as I'm still facing the same issue.

  1. Lastly, I encountered an error related to a missing database table graphile_worker.jobs. The error message was:

    psycopg2.errors.UndefinedTable: relation "graphile_worker.jobs" does not exist

I tried to troubleshoot this, but I'm not certain whether it's due to missing database migrations, a misconfiguration, or some other reason.

Can someone please help? TIA.

    Hey 👋

    I ran into this exact same issue today. Eventually solved it (with the help of @benjackwhite)

    Make sure you have these ENV variables set in your .zshrc (or equivalent) file:

    export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/bin:$PATH"
export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/lib/pkgconfig"

    Then purge the node_modules in your plugin-server and re-install them without the cache:

    (env) ➜  posthog git:(master) cd plugin-server && rm -rf node_modules/ && cd ..
(env) ➜  posthog git:(master) pnpm i --force --dir plugin-server

    You should see Kafka running an install script

    node_modules/.pnpm/node-rdkafka-acosom@2.16.1_ts-node@10.9.1_typescript@4.9.5/node_modules/node-rdkafka-acosom: Running install script

    I had to also rebuild rdkafka in the plugin-server directory.

    cd plugin-server && pnpm rebuild node-rdkafka
