    @chymian-0 looks like the plugin ep_headings2 is missing for some reason. Just to gain more info, did you install any plugins manually?

    To resolve this, try to run npm i ep_markdown in the webterminal (if it keeps restarting and thus reconnecting, put the app in Recovery Mode first) You could also just install ep_headings2 but you might miss other dependencies of ep_markdown as well.

    After the npm run, restart the app or disable recovery mode.

    @nebulon Maybe those npm things need a retry? Since we try to download/update on startup?

      Not sure if automatically updating dependencies of plugins is the correct way. Those are often set in the package lock file of the plugin and maybe authors have forgotten to update them or updating them would break the plugin. Not sure if we can make that decision on behalf of them here.

      I do think that the npm audit check and warning is related to the original ep_markdown problem though.

          @robi you can set the app in recovery mode and then open a webterminal where you run the npm command npm i ep_markdown hopefully this will fix the dependencies. After that disable recovery mode.

            @nebulon tried that:

            root@daa892b0-779c-419b-9831-2b727fb716b4:/app/code# npm i ep_markdown
            npm ERR! code ENOENT
            npm ERR! syscall open
            npm ERR! path /root/.npm/_cacache/tmp/fd583d7a
            npm ERR! errno -2
            npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/root/.npm/_cacache/tmp/fd583d7a'
            npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
            npm ERR! enoent 
            r
            

            furthermore /root/.npm/ doesn't exist as it's linked dir doesn't exist either

            lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   22 Mar  5 08:36 .npm -> /run/etherpad-lite/npm
            

            after creating the missing directories, the npm completes.

            app still doesn't start. same logs as above.

              Looks like it misses some temporary folders indeed. Can you run /app/code/start.sh first? (that should fail, but will create the folders)

                  @robi can you drop us a message on support@ with the IP address? Would like to take a look.

                    So the app should be up and running again. One installed plugin broke with the new etherpad version, in this case ep_delete_empty_pads so after running npm rm ep_delete_empty_pads the app starts up again.

                    I will add some more info for such situations in the docs.

                      @nebulon thanks, what was the indicator pointing to that plugin?

                        No real indicator, but since plugins are flimsy here, I just uninstalled one-by-one until it would start up again. I also found that a fresh installation of that plugin on a new instance also works. So clearly some combination you had caused the trouble.

                        Generally etherpad is really more like a framework to build a collaborative editor, we have written ep_cloudron for example to do basic authentication and document management. That alone is provided in all sorts of ways through many other plugins and those are all incompatible with each other. So one should be a bit careful which plugins are installed. Either way I will see how I can give more guidance how to fix a broken situation in the docs and also checking now how we can give the app a bit more polish.

                            there had been a 4 dependencies missing, 3 from the cloudron-module. while installing these, there was an error about /app/code/package.json, which is missing.

                              @chymian-0 We saw the exact same problem with @robi's instance. Essentially, one of the plugins was preventing the startup. After the log line "Your Etherpad version is 1.8.12", one is supposed to see "http server listening" or something like that. I recommend "npm rm" on each of the plugins as suggested in https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/etherpad/#troubleshooting to debug which plugin causes this issue. Unfortunately, this is the life with plugins in etherpad, they keep breaking between releases 😞
