AIO // Notify Push failing to start lately?

ℹ️ Support

1

I am using Nextcloud AIO in the lastest version Nextcloud AIO v11.3.0.

Since the latest two updates I face a small, perhaps cosmetic problem with the installation. In the Nextcloud AIO interface, where the several containers are listed, all containers are shown as “running” (green), except Notify Push, which stays at “starting” (yellow).

When I check the logs of “Notify Push” container, I see:

Any advice appreciated.

Hi, have you already tried to reboot the server?

3

I just tried that, but it didn’t change the behaviour. :frowning:

4

Hm… Can you post the output of sudo docker info here?

Sure thing!

You can try my tutorial here - Nextcloud AIO v10.1.1 - Apache Will Not Start - #19 by vawaver

There is the part:

When Containers Don’t Start Properly:

If a container fails to start or is marked as “unhealthy” (e.g., the “apache” container), I’ve found that the installation image for that specific container might not have been downloaded correctly. In such cases, I follow these steps:

  • Stop all containers as usual.
  • Delete all stopped containers in Portainer, including the problematic one.
  • Additionally, delete the installation image (in Portainer) for the Docker container that failed to start or was marked as unhealthy.
  • Let the system redownload the image and recreate the container.This ensures that any potentially corrupted or incomplete image is replaced, and it has resolved issues for me multiple times.

Thanks for your idea. I just tried that. I stopped all containers except the mastercontainer, I deleted the containers and also all their images. Restarting took a while. In the end I still have the same situation: “Notify Push” stays in “Starting”.

8

Anything specific which I should try? Is it a problem? I don’t notice any problem in functionality of the software.

Hi, I just released AIO v11.4.0 stable. Can you please check if the problem still happens with that one?

I just upgraded my AIO installation to v11.4.0, but it shows the same behaviour. During testing in the last days, I also noticed situations where it was not “notify push” which stayed yellow, but “Imaginary” once as well (instead of of “notify push”). I also had once the situation, that it was “Apache”, which was staying yellow. This was especially bad, because then I couldn’t use the “stop containers” button in the control panel of AIO, as it was not displayed. Now after upgrading to v11.4.0, it is “notify push” again, which stays yellow.

Hm ok. Can you try to follow How to recreate the `nextcloud-aio` network? · nextcloud/all-in-one · Discussion #4989 · GitHub and check if that helps?

This fixed the problem. Thank You!
