Nextcloud version : 27.1.7
Operating system and version : Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
Apache or nginx version : Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu)
PHP version (eg, 7.4): I couldn't find the version - says php not installed????

The issue you are facing: Periodically I see AIO being unable to start containers after an update.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? : No

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Allow AIO to perform regular updates. These seems to be scheduled for Friday evenings.

  2. I see this in AIO:


    so I stop and update the containers.

  3. But no matter how long I wait this is all that I get. When it happens, I typically I arrive Monday morning to complaints the server is “down”. It doesn’t matter what I do in the AIO interface at this juncture, it always brings back the above showing stopped containers… Until I reboot the host I am stuck in a cycle where AIO only reports the above.

  4. After a host reboot AIO show this for a while as I would expect on updating:

  5. which then completes and I am updates and back with users able to log in again:

The output of your Apache/nginx/system log in /var/log/____:

I am having a challenge finding these.  The scripts in logrotate.d suggest it should be in /var/log/apache2 but that location is empty.

From what I can see these appears to be an issue connecting to my Active Directory Domain controller. Why would it require a host restart?

What can I do so that these updates do not prevent user access. I am having a challenge convincing users to use the service because they complain it is unavailable too often.

Hi, can you post the mastercontainer logs here after a container update fails?

Hi szaimen,

Will I now have to wait for the next updates and subsequent failure, or do you want this from last Friday’s issue?

I am sorry - I should probably already know where to pull; those logs from by now, can you tell me where I can determine where my logs are actually going? I see a folder

/var/lib/docker/overlay2/bc02fcf87a1ca3bfa79ef36d5be429866599e3caf4a90601c9b06c44df33a1b9/merged/etc/logrotate.d

but the scripts in there are not telling me where to look.

Also do the settings here impact the “master container logs”?

Sorry if I am being obtuse here, I am hoping you can give me a pointer as to how to determine exactly where my logging is going.

Thanks for the quick response.

Hi @szaimen

I will confess that it makes me smile the way you make me “do the work myself”. :wink:

Here are the mastercontainer logs after it happened overnight last night:

If I reboot the host the updates apply OK and the containers start. Looking forward to finding the cause and resolving it.

You should be able to open the Nextcloud AIO Interface now on port 8080 of this server!
E.g. https://internal.ip.of.this.server:8080

If your server has port 80 and 8443 open and you point a domain to your server, you can get a valid certificate automatically by opening the Nextcloud AIO Interface via:

Something seems to be wrong: Nextcloud should be started at this step.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Hi,

I have not seen a repeat of the issue since I posted this. I am just wondering if you have had a chance to look at this?

So I assume I was not getting any responses because the issue appeared to be a full root drive on the host and that is not your issue.

I have a 100GB root partition and I mount a 3.00 TB drive at /mnt/ncdata for the data directory.

Looking at configuration.json I see

“borg_backup_host_location”: “/mnt/backups”,

Which I stupidly removed while trying to recover space. The host was repurposed and I had it in my head this was an old location no longer used.

On restarting the host Apache is not running and AIO is “unhealthy”:

# docker ps

Given that I have botched this and cannot access my back ups, I am thinking to create a new instance. I still have all my data, users are pulled from AD, so I am wondering, if I made a new instance, is it overly complex to pull the current config from files on the old one?

Also - am I being too old school to want separate partitions/disks for root, data, and (now) backups?

Do most people just throw everything on one block device?

I am not sure whether to start again or try and recover this instance’s settings.

OK - not sure if it is of interest to anyone, I believe that the issue was the host not AIO/Nextcloud.

I won’t go into details, but this was a test/proof of concept and was done on old hardware, and even thrown on an existing OS.

That and a poorly thought out configuration/setup meant I lost my Borg backups when the hardware died.

So I have a shiny new instance, on production hardware, replicated and backed up externally.

I am going to call the test a success because users demanded I replace it when it died. I learned a lot and this install went much better.

AIO is growing on me, thanks to the team who did such a stellar job of making this excellent software.
