Going to "system info" triggers assertion error

fbartels

Hi,

I've already noticed this a while ago, but never bothered to look into it until now.

When going to the "system info" as an admin I get a brief toast notification that my Cloudron would be offline (triggered by a 502 return code on both /api/v1/cloudron/disks and /api/v1/cloudron/status.

Looking into the box logs the following is logged at the time of the error message:

Mar 15 16:56:30 box:apphealthmonitor app health: 24 alive / 0 dead.
AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: Expected values to be strictly equal:

My Cloudron still runs on an Ubuntu 16.04 machine, maybe an incompatibility with the Node version on that system?

@fbartels hm tracing the code there, this seems to be the result of getting the diskfree stats for the apps data dir, which is /home/yellowtent/appsdata. Is that by any chance a symlink or otherwise different, like a mountpoint?

fbartels

Hi @nebulon,

no I cannot really see something out of the ordinary with that folder. All data is on a single partition on that server.

@fbartels Can you try this node repl session? You have to cd /home/yellowtent/box first.

root@my:/home/yellowtent/box# node 
Welcome to Node.js v14.15.4.
Type ".help" for more information.
> df = require('@sindresorhus/df')
<ref *1> [AsyncFunction: df] {
  fs: [AsyncFunction (anonymous)],
  file: [AsyncFunction (anonymous)],
  default: [Circular *1]
}
> df.file('/home/yellowtent/appsdata').then(x => console.log(x))
Promise { <pending> }
> {
  filesystem: '/dev/vda1',
  type: 'ext4',
  size: 51848359936,
  used: 12759597056,
  available: 39071985664,
  capacity: 0.25,
  mountpoint: '/'
}

For some reason, I think on your server it's returning undefined.

fbartels

Hi @girish,

its indeed returning "undefined"

df = require('@sindresorhus/df')
<ref *1> [AsyncFunction: df] {
  fs: [AsyncFunction (anonymous)],
  file: [AsyncFunction (anonymous)],
  default: [Circular *1]
}
> df.file('/home/yellowtent/appsdata').then(x => console.log(x))
Promise { <pending> }
> {
  filesystem: undefined,
  type: undefined,
  size: NaN,
  used: NaN,
  available: NaN,
  capacity: NaN,
  mountpoint: undefined
}

This is how the partition shows in mount:

/dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)

nebulon

@fbartels thanks for trying, this is indeed strange, if you change appsdata to say platformdata or boxdata in the path, do you see the same issue? I am asking since the code before checking appsdata is exactly the same with just those other folders being next to appsdata

fbartels

Hi @nebulon,

yes the output is the same for those other folders as well.

girish

@fbartels the df module works by parsing the output of df -kPT. Can you give us that output? Looks like it's not able to parse it - https://github.com/sindresorhus/df/blob/main/index.js#L21 is the parser, in case you see something obviously wrong. I am guessing maybe this is something locale related. Maybe the ordering of columns is different or something.

fbartels

Hi @girish,

hm.. nothing obviously wrong in the output. But since I am running low on disk I think I will anyways order a new system with a bigger disk and will migrate to the new system over the weekend.

@fbartels hm that node module tries to calculate column boundraries from the header line, which may be causing issues with the longer German words here possibly overflowing the stdout "terminal" rendering and spaces (https://github.com/sindresorhus/df/pull/14)

I guess the real fix would be to force the df exec with an latin1_en or so locale...

girish

Indeed, I can reproduce by setting LANG=de_DE.UTF-8

@fbartels Can you please try this.

Edit /etc/systemd/system/box.service and add LC_ALL to the Environment key.

Environment="HOME=/home/yellowtent" "USER=yellowtent" "DEBUG=box:*,connect-lastmile,-box:ldap" "BOX_ENV=cloudron" "NODE_ENV=production" "LC_ALL=C"

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart box

That should hopefully fix the parser.

Hi @girish ,

thanks that indeed makes the node error go away. Afterwards however i am running into the Graphite/Collectd error already reported in https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/4705/graphite-tagdb-error-tagging-collectd/ and https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/4671/graphite-stuck-starting/.

girish

@fbartels awesome, thanks for testing. I am fixing the graphite issue, that error is something else. Fixed in https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/f7bd47888ac157fc5b86021f6458b6a7f0d3fba8
