      Hello,

      I am new to cloudron and I tried installing it on my recently updated ubuntu20.04 desktop. I followed the installation process but couldn't finish because I got this error message:

      ....
      2023-10-15T13:52:42 ==> start: Adding motd message for admins
      2023-10-15T13:52:42 ==> start: Configuring nginx
      grep: /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/nginx.service: No such file or directory
      2023-10-15T13:52:43 ==> start: Stopping mysql
      2023-10-15T13:52:44 ==> start: Starting mysql
      mysqladmin: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
      mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
      error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'
      

      So I have found a solution and reset the mysql root@localhost password, and then did:

      sudo ./cloudron-setup --redo
      

      But I get

      Error: Cloudron is already installed. To reinstall, start afresh
      

      So here I really don't understand this message because if I do:

      systemctl status box
      ● box.service - Cloudron Admin
           Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/box.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
           Active: active (running) since Sun 2023-10-15 14:34:28 UTC; 11ms ago
         Main PID: 38669 (node)
            Tasks: 1 (limit: 135115)
           Memory: 620.0K (max: 400.0M)
           CGroup: /system.slice/box.service
                   └─38669 node /home/yellowtent/box/box.js
      

      So the service seems to run. As far as my understanding goes the majority of the install is complete. But I can't imagine that I have to completely reinstall my desktop setup because cloudron blocked for an sql password. So what could be a solution ?

      Thank you very much for your response. Best regards, Joachim

        2 things

        1. Cloudron should be installed on servers, not desktops

        2. it needs to be on the server all by itself with nothing else installed

        I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

            @joack said in Cloudron partial install but server seems active:

            I tried installing it on my recently updated ubuntu20.04 desktop

            As others warned, don't do this! It's not meant to be run this way. You can create a VM on your desktop and install it in the VM though.

            The error itself is happening because you probably are using MySQL already and this is conflicting with Cloudron installation.
