    @nebulon said in Cloudron.io post install questions:

    if you briefly see the page, it might mean that some script redirects you. Can you just curl your dashboard domain and see what is actually delivered?

    When I issue: curl https://my.domain.com/setup.html I receive the following response:
    curl: (7) Failed to connect to my.domain.com port 443 after 12 ms: Bad access

    For now, port 443 is forwarding to the correct private IP address where the server is hosted.

    To be on the same page, you were successfully going through the Cloudron DNS and setup screens after installation by visiting your IP ?

    Yes, I had completed adding the Global API key that I retrieved from Cloudflare and entered my email address associated with that account.

    It went through its process and went to the second page telling me that it was retrieving the certificate for 443 access.

    Shortly after, a brief glimpse at the next setup screen (before I can access your app store) and then forwards/resolves to a 404.

    @ejarvis to rule out some error cases, can you disable the proxying for that domain in cloudflare and check if this may be the issue?

      @nebulon I tried that actually and was able to get it connected. However, now I have an app that is stuck on 'installing' and won't let me stop the task, or remove the app (or go through the steps that requires placing the app in a recovery mode).

      Is there a way to completely wipe my slate so that I can try to install an app again?

          You can just reboot the server. That should make it unstuck if this is related to the Ubuntu kernel issue. Can you please try that?

              I've tried that. First rule of troubleshooting, eh? 😃

                @BrutalBirdie Applied that via SSH, everything went smoothly. However, the app is still stuck in 'installing' mode and won't let me stop or remove it.

                  @ejarvis Ah, the "Queued" usually either means the platform is still starting or the backup is running. For the latter, you can check in the Backups view. For the former, can you see /home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/box.log ? Does it show some error or goes on about platform lock not released?

                    It does say that there is a conflict and that the task is locked.

                    Box POST /api/v1/apps/cf294eb7-14c1-4f18-813a-14f9b2cb6463/exec 409 Conflict App not installed or running 465.399 ms>

                    On the bright side, the log files are very verbose and relatively detailed, with nearly everything that we need to know. Is there something else that I can verify for you?

                      If you keep scrolling up, you should find some error. One of the services is not starting. Which version are you on?

                          @ejarvis no, there should be some other error. You can also do systemctl restart box and it should give some docker error. Otherwise, if you contact us on support@cloudron.io, i can take a look.

                            @girish Let me do a restart and will see what I can see. If that fails, will contact you at that address.

                                @ejarvis
                                Did you install Cloudron on your Ubuntu Desktop Computer?
                                It looks like you are running as user jarvis who does not have permission to execute that command.
                                So you should use sudo systemctl restart box.service

                                But please answer first on what systems you installed Cloudron.
                                Like very specific, tell us all.

                                Like my work? Consider donating a drink. Cheers!

                                    I installed a minimal XFCE4 desktop environment so that I could VNC into the server as needed.

                                    Do you think this is part of the issue?

                                      This statement bothers me, since the person that was helping me was directly from the source, and you haven't helped at all yet?

                                      For what it's worth, I did follow the cloudron install docs that you linked. Prior to that, the server has been running on that limited desktop environment.

                                      If I need to nuke it all and do it again, it's not that much of a hassle.

                                      EDIT: Nuking it now.

                                          Did you install Cloudron on your Ubuntu Desktop Computer?
                                          It looks like you are running as user jarvis who does not have permission to execute that command.
                                          So you should use sudo systemctl restart box.service

                                          But please answer first on what systems you installed Cloudron.
                                          Like very specific, tell us all.

                                          I do notice that there are two users listed in the server now, my own as it was set up when I installed the server, and the Cloudron account that I assume was installed with their script.

                                          The 'jarvis' account is root.
