[critical] install.lock removed after cloudron reboot

[Crush33]

hi
just noticed this, after a reboot of cloudron (v8.3.2 (Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS) all my install.lock files disappear of all my dolibarr instances
Even if permission on file is www-data or root...

Have to manually recreate them each time.

Someone could reproduce ?

Thanks

Do you see anything in the logs? From what I can see in the packaging code, the install.lock is temporarily moved and then migrations are run and then it is moved back. Maybe the migration run is failing ?

[Crush33]

where should I check exactly to see what happend ?

The app log itself.
You can also download the logs and provide this file here.

forum says i can't upload file here

Error

You can use https://paste.cloudron.io/ to paste the whole file in there and provide the URL here.

Hello @Crush33
Please apologize the delayed response.

In your provided logs I could not find anything related to the startup of the app and the install.lock file.
Do you have the full app log from the dashboard of the day this happened?
Especially the startup part is important.

The Dolibarr app runs a setup() function on startup that check if the file /app/data/dolibarr/install.lock exists, moves it to /tmp/install.lock and after running the upgrade hooks it should move back the /tmp/install.lock to /app/data/dolibarr/install.lock.

There might have been a failure when running the upgrade hooks or the app crashed or OOM resulting in /tmp/install.lock not being moved back to /app/data/dolibarr/install.lock?
I will try to force such a scenario and see if I can reproduce this behavior.

Hello @Crush33

Sadly I was not able to reproduce this behavior.

@Crush33 are you using any volumes for the Dolibarr app?

[Crush33]

hello james
I have a reboot pending on server with multiple dolibarr inside.
I don't use any volumes.
What should I look at before and after reboot to be sure to catch the right information for debugging ?
Thanks !

I too am wondering what the pasted links here have to do with lock files? What do you mean by "all my install.lock files disappear" ? How are you re-creating them?

[Crush33]

hello joseph
cloudron ask me to reboot whole OS for ubuntu security update
when I do, file /app/data/dolibarr/install.lock is missing after that reboot (which is critical for security reason).

I recreate them by hand (touch install.lock from ssh in OS, maybe I shouldn't to that...?).

On a later update ubuntu, they vanish again.
If I manually reboot (i.e command "reboot" in shell), they're gone too after the reboot.

I dunno where to look at to see exactly what's happening. Is it container side ? or OS side ?
Provided above logs are from container side and there is nothing about the lock file...

Hello @Crush33
The Cloudron Dolibarr app does move the /app/data/dolibarr/install.lock file on each startup of the app temporary inside the docker container to /tmp/install.lock to run upgrade steps.
After the upgrade steps are completed, the /tmp/install.lock is moved back to /app/data/dolibarr/install.lock.

Maybe you have seen this behavior at the exact moment the app started.
But, the file should be moved back into place after the app is fully started.
