Crash when updating to v4.61.0

[rosano]

Found some storage reduction ideas in Cannot update due to one tiny app filling up 20GB drive (FWIW my server storage capacity is 40gb)…

I tried running docker images:

Curious why each app seems to have gigabytes in size, but I don't know what any of this means.

Tried docker image prune -a:

Deleted Images:
untagged: registry.docker.com/cloudron/base:4.0.0
untagged: registry.docker.com/cloudron/base@sha256:31b195ed0662bdb06a6e8a5ddbedb6f191ce92e8bee04c03fb02dd4e9d0286df

Total reclaimed space: 0B

@girish I tried sudo swapoff -a:

swapoff: /apps.swap: swapoff failed: Cannot allocate memory

Tried sudo rm /apps.swap:

rm: cannot remove '/apps.swap': Operation not permitted

I don't have much experience to understand what to do here so if you have further hints I would appreciate it

[rosano]

@girish actually trying sudo swapoff /apps.swap seems to have worked and I can sudo rm /apps.swap now. 4gb free

As an aside, if I truncate -s 1G /apps.swap and then either sudo swapon -a or sudo swapon /apps.swap I get this error:

swapon: /apps.swap: swapon failed: Invalid argument

I guess will leave it off for now, but maybe at some point I would try to turn it on.

[rosano]

@girish Okay still getting this error with 4.67 GB free:

Seems like the same issue as the other thread I referenced, but not sure what else I can do to reduce space if that's the issue. Any ideas?

[girish]

@rosano can you can try docker pull cloudron/org.ghost.cloudronapp2:20230904-084557-30794834d directly. Is your server so short of space? How much is remaining?

[girish]

If you run just swapon, it will say the swap devices also. But really, trying to shave off 2-3GB here and there is just going to error somewhere else (or sometime later), I think.

[rosano]

@girish said in Crash when updating to v4.61.0:

@rosano can you can try docker pull cloudron/org.ghost.cloudronapp2:20230904-084557-30794834d directly.

Still a space issue:

failed to register layer: Error processing tar file(exit status 1): open /home/cloudron/ghost/versions/5.61.1/node_modules/node-gyp/gyp/pylib/gyp/common_test.py: no space left on device

Turns out swap comes back after rebooting, so I deleted it again but still get the same issue.

Is your server so short of space? How much is remaining?

According to df -h 5-6 GB after deleting swap?:

/dev/sda1        38G   30G  5.8G  84% /

It surprises me more than this would be necessary for Ghost. I wonder what's going on.

[girish]

@rosano indeed, that should be ample. maybe try a server reboot to see if some process has open files preventing from cleanup . Before you reboot, you might have to comment out the swap mount line in /etc/fstab.

[rosano]

Ran docker volume prune to reclaim 1.3 GB. Was able to successfully pull directly with 7.7 GB free. I ran docker image prune -a to remove that pull and was able to install via the Cloudron panel.

Will comment out the swap but hopefully there isn't some other issue as it's odd to need so much space in order to update ghost.

[girish]

@rosano there's an intermediate transition going on for the docker images (we are updating the docker image to version 4.2.0). Once most apps are updated, you should be able to reclaim more space.

[rosano]

Sorry to extend this thread, just noticing that the swap seems to return after rebooting even though /apps.swap none swap sw 0 0 is commented out in /etc/fstab. This blocks other attemps when Ghost updates… For now I'll just delete swap it occurs, but if there's another step please share.

[girish]

@rosano instead of deleting /apps.swap , just keep it 0 size and remove the fstab line. Cloudron recreates the swap file on reboot (since that is the recommended setup for linux). so truncate -s0 /apps.swap is good enough.
