Dashboard and applications unreachable after recovery from full disk

[robi]

Then please gather the restart portion of nginx, and box logs so we can see what the actual failure is.

Is box regenerating the nginx configs after restart?
If so, post the config file that is causing the failure to start.

Alternatively you can email support@ for additional assistance.

@whitespace I had a similar issue yesterday, please post the needed logs so we can see the real error message for further assistance.

Or like @robi suggested write an E-Mail to support@cloudron.io

Is box regenerating the nginx configs after restart?

It seems so. They appear inside the folder and have the expected default values.

@whitespace that is not an nginx log. See how it says systemd[1]?

[whitespace]

journalctl -u nginx -fa

gives me

@robi said in Dashboard and applications unreachable after recovery from full disk:

@whitespace that is not an nginx log. See how it says systemd[1]?

But it includes the nginx errors

2022-08-19T10:26:05.996Z box:shell reload (stdout): nginx: [emerg] cannot load certificate "/home/yellowtent/platformdata/nginx/cert/myserver.com.host.cert": BIO_new_file() failed (SSL: error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:fopen('/home/yellowtent/platformdata/nginx/cert/myserver.com.host.cert','r') error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file)

Nginx has missing certificates. @nebulon fixe this yesterday for one of my instances.
It might be best to send a message to the support.

[robi]

@whitespace from another message in the log, it doesn't appear that the system knows it's own hostname.

Please make sure to set one so it sticks after reboot.

@BrutalBirdie yes, I missed that from the long scroll to the right.

[girish]

@whitespace I replied to you from support@. We have to delete the nginx config file and also the bad key/cert and then "systemctl restart box". This will re-generate the config file and the certs.

In next release, this is done automatically. We check if the key/cert are bad files and re-sync things to disk automatically.

[girish]

Resolved in support@

[whitespace]

Thank you very much for resolving the issue. I would love to understand what i did wrong.

I tried deleting the nginx.conf and certs and let them be regenerated as you have described in other threads. Yet I did not manage to get nginx back up and running. Are there additional steps besides deleting cofings, restarting box, nginx and unbound?

Muchas Gracias for saving the day!
