Gitlab /admin/runner error 500

[girish]

@rav Is there any error in the logs when you get a 500? If you disable recovery mode, does the app come back up? It is expected that the app won't start in recovery mode. You have to go the web terminal and then run /app/pkg/start.sh to start the app.

I guess the page is /admin/runners and not /admin/runner ?

@girish The error in the log seems to be not so usefull.

Jan 23 10:55:32 172.18.0.1 - - [23/Jan/2021:09:55:32 +0000] "GET /admin/runners HTTP/1.1" 500 2926 "https://git.aaa.bb/admin" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_6) AppleWebKit/605.1.15

In recovery mode in the webterminal I am unable to type or see anything this is what seems strange. Yes it is /admin/runners sorry.

@rav GitLab logs are under /run/gitlab/log/. There are two files there application.log and production.log. Maybe you can load the page and then look for the backtrace in those files.

[RaV]

@girish found this in production.log

@rav I found the exact same error in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54216933/internal-server-error-500-while-accessing-gitlab-admin-runners .

As per the instruction in the stackoverflow post, can you try this in Cloudron's Web terminal?:

# su - git  
$ cd gitlab
$ bundle exec rails c -e production # (takes about 10 sec to bring up rails terminal)
irb(main):001:0> ApplicationSetting.current.reset_runners_registration_token!

[RaV]

@girish said in Gitlab /admin/runner error 500:

ApplicationSetting.current.reset_runners_registration_token!

Tried this and the Rails console said => True.
The /admin/runners page is still not available. Any other logs I could check?

[girish]

@rav said in Gitlab /admin/runner error 500:

The /admin/runners page is still not available. Any other logs I could check?

So, same backtrace? Have you tried restarting the app just to be sure?

[RaV]

@girish looks the same to me yes. did a restart of the app but it did not help.

@rav I can't make out what the issue is. Do you think you can reach out to us at support@cloudron.io and give us SSH access so I can debug gitlab a bit to see what the issue is? Alternately, you have to ask on the GitLab forums on what to do for this.

[RaV]

@girish okay opened the support ticket from my cloudron

[girish]

Fix is documented in https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/gitlab-app/-/issues/13
