<![CDATA[mysql won't start upon cloudron upgrade]]>Hey all,

I'm seeing in /home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/box.log:

2024-06-07T12:58:29.738Z box:platform BoxError: startMysql errored with code 125 message Command failed: docker run --restart=always -d --name=mysql                 --hostname mysql                 --net cloudron                 --net-alias mysql                 --log-driver syslog                 --log-opt syslog-address=unix:///home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/syslog.sock                 --log-opt syslog-format=rfc5424                 --log-opt tag=mysql                 --dns 172.38.some.IP                 --dns-search=.                 --ip 172.32.some.IP                 -e CLOUDRON_MYSQL_TOKEN=somestuff                 -e CLOUDRON_MYSQL_ROOT_HOST=172.18.0.1                 -e CLOUDRON_MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=somestuff                 -v /home/yellowtent/platformdata/mysql:/var/lib/mysql                 --label isCloudronManaged=true                 --cap-add SYS_NICE                 --read-only -v /tmp -v /run registry.docker.com/cloudron/mysql:3.4.2@sha256:some_hash

When mysql starts after upgrading. This means a bunch of stuff doesn't work.

  • I've tried upgrading from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04, that seemed to work but the problem persists.
  • I've tried docker container prune and docker volume prune, restart, same problem.
  • I've tried the mysql troubleshooting instructions here: https://docs.cloudron.io/troubleshooting/#mysql-addon

Any ideas? It seems like it's a permissions thing, but I don't want to tinker with Cloudron's guts too much.

For those coming through in the future note that cloudron-support may ask you to reboot and run again, keep an eye out for it.

Before you run it on the server, go to Services and check if all the services are running.

If they are running, then run the script on the server:

wget https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/raw/master/scripts/cloudron-support -O /usr/bin/cloudron-support
cloudron-support --recreate-docker

After the above, you can update Cloudron and it should work.

FWIW I followed the Ubuntu upgrade instructions in https://docs.cloudron.io/guides/upgrade-ubuntu-22/
and the recreate-containers script never finishes, same error I believe.

The upgrade downloads a newer docker image for mysql .

On Cloudron, there is no data as it can always recreate docker containers and images without any data loss. There is currently no instructions on how to recreate docker storage. I will add a doc for this.

I have not gotten it sorted out...if I revert to a previous Cloudron version everything is fine! Which leads me to believe something's going wrong with the upgrade.

It looks like the docker directory is corrupt. Maybe because the server ran out of disk space at some point ?
