Fix Rallly start.sh

[james]

Hello @andreasdueren
I have just installed the Rallly app and there was no issue with the startup.
Could you please elaborate why this causes issues for you?

[andreasdueren]

@james This line in the start.sh file breaks the app. At some point it didn't start anymore after an update and the logs led me to it, thought I may have done something and manually changed it. But I think every upgrade changes it back and breaks it again.

Hello @andreasdueren
Like I wrote, I just installed Rallly from the app store where it is:

export SMTP_PORT=${CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_PORT}

and there was no issue.
So I must assume there is something else going on.

I'm just telling you what I experienced. It kept refusing to load without the quotation marks.

Strange, in bash, both are the same. Given that CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_PORT is just a number.

Yeah no idea. But these were my logs (I think, pulled this out of my clipboard manager):

Hello @andreasdueren
The error is:

Oct 18 08:16:49 /app/pkg/start.sh: line 54: prisma: command not found

[nebulon]

That error is even more peculiar. So the start.sh just runs prisma which should be in the path and part of the app image: https://git.cloudron.io/packages/rallly-app/-/blob/main/start.sh?ref_type=heads#L54

Are there any variables in the /app/data/env which may interfere with prisma or the PATH ?

I haven't touched the devault ENV

SECRET_PASSWORD='STRING'
NEXTAUTH_SECRET='STRING'

# Comma separated list of email addresses that are allowed to register and login.
# You can use wildcard syntax to match a range of email addresses.

Hello, same error here.

I did reinstall the application once, from scratch. At first, it did work, until it did not.

@andreasdueren suggested fix worked for me. Thank you.

[andreasdueren]

@keldorn yes that’s what I did too. Reinstalled them broke again

[nebulon]

would be great to have a way to reproduce this. Especially since prisma is just part of the image itself.

Can you for example run which prisma? It should print /tmp/pnpm/prisma if the PATH env is correct. Though I cannot quite see why that wouldn't be the case unless the image is somehow broken locally. Like https://git.cloudron.io/packages/rallly-app/-/blob/main/start.sh?ref_type=heads this is all the app does when the container starts.

[andreasdueren]

@nebulon im Sorry I don't know what to tell you except for this is what fixed it. which prisma returns nothing:

root@37e3d748-cecb-49e4-b218-88d23a2b37a4:/app/pkg# which prisma
root@37e3d748-cecb-49e4-b218-88d23a2b37a4:/app/pkg# 

[keldorn]

Some logs as well below.

So until ~19:34 this is the original configuration.

Then I did reboot to emergency mode, fixed the brackets, and then rebooted.

When I reboot the container and it works, which prisma correctly prints the path. If the host is rebooted, then it fails again (as the fix / workaround is, as expected, not retained)

I assume that adding the brackets would have no adverse effects.

[nebulon]

Still wasn't able to reproduce to debug this. However, looking at it just now with fresh eyes on the topic, I think the error comes from the fact that pnpm for some reason is setup to use /tmp which I didn't realize before:

ENV PNPM_HOME="/tmp/pnpm"
ENV PATH="$PNPM_HOME:$PATH"

Not yet sure why this works in the first place, since /tmp is mounted as a temporary volume into the container as well as regularily purged, since it is a temporary storage. Hopefully better understand the root issue tomorrow and the provide a fix for it.

[nebulon]

I think I got the issue fixed. New package is released now which moves pnpm packages (which includes prisma) from /tmp to /home/cloudron

[keldorn]

Hello @nebulon, well spotted.

Thanks for pushing this fix. I have updated the app, and it is running fine now.
