Webadmin error on manual update of self-hosting free-plan

CarbonBee

Hi everyone!

I've got a huge issue on manually updating my free-plan self-hosting cloudron from 1.11.0 to 2.0.0. I usethe documented methode on the git, and I add the webadmin part : since v1.10 (as I recall), the box repo doesn't contain the webadmin part anymore, but search for the directory ../webadmin.
On v2.0.*, in thestart.sh script,at line 218, it tries to create a json in the /home/yellowtent/box/webadmin/dist/ directory, but it does not exists! A directory /home/yellowtent/box/dashboard/dist/ exists (it might be related to the webadmin repo renamed into dashboard, but depite my investigations on the code, I didn't find where it is created).
The installation fails because of this error, and after that, I've got a 404 error on trying to access to the cloudron, and I can't connect with cloudron CLI.
I tried to re-run the script after creating a webadmin/dist directory, but it gives me a 403 error (most certainly because I didn't passed the right parameters, thus many of my cloudron.conf fields are empty). I still have access to cloudron CLI and to all my apps. I just don't have the cloudron page anymore.

Do any of you have an idea on how to fix this issue and correctly update to 2.0.1 ?
Thanks!

UPDATE :
I browsed the code of both box and webadmin for v2.0.0 : dashboard is never used, but webadmin is. So I copied the created config.json from webadmin/dist to dashboard/config.json, renamed dashboard into webadmin, and restarted box service. The interface came back (yay!) but it gives me an "Unknown OAuth client" error. It may be because of my config/cloudron.conf. Or do I have to restart another service.

Thewebadmin repo got renamed todashboard. Please remove the webadmin folder (which should be on the same level as thebox repo folder), and in-place clonehttps://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/dashboard then hotfixing your Cloudron should work again.

CarbonBee

@nebulon Well, in thecreateReleaseTarball script,line 32, it searches for thewebadmin directory. So I renamed mydashboard directory intowebadmin.
I hotfix my Cloudron, and it gives me the error :

/home/yellowtent/box/setup/start.sh: line 218: /home/yellowtent/box/webadmin/dist/config.json: No such file or directory

And now my Cloudron is down. I renamebox/dashboard intobox/webadmin, I copy the oldwebadmin/dist/config.json into it, then I call againbox/setup/start.sh. But now myconfig/cloudron.conf is a bit empty, so I replace it by a backup. I restart withsystemctl restart box, and at last, my Cloudron is up again. I can access to all my apps! But the cloudron page itself is no more available because of anUnknown OAuth client.
So is the current state of my 2.0.1 Cloudron.

Oh I see, I was referring to both repo's master branches. So for that particular release, it was stillwebadmin indeed, so you have to make sure to checkout the correct release version tags for both of them. Having said that, we don't actively test hotfixing for releases, as the name indicates, it is intended as a developer tool.

CarbonBee

@nebulon Well, if I understand correctly, either I update my cloudron to the master branch, or I wait for the next release that, I hope, will correct that issue. Is there another option, isn't it possible to fix it?

CarbonBee

@carbonbee What I don't understand is why, during the build on the server with thehotfix methode, adashboard directory is created, instead of awebadmin? Because almost everything seems to relies on thiswebadmin directory.

darkben

@carbonbee. I have 3 pro plans and i have 2 test servers with free plans for testing and i use hotfix cli method to update them. With few adjustments it works.

on the cli machine clone box and dashboard with git
For the dashboard i clone the code in webadmin directory : git clonehttps://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/dashboard.git webadmin
In the webadmin directory and the box directory checkout the version you want
Hotfix command
On the cloudron machine you need to change version in cloudron.conf
In the box directory, rename dashboard directory in webadmin
go to box/webadmin/dist and create config.json within :
{
"webServerOrigin": "https://cloudron.io"
}
Reboot your server and cross your fingers.

Everything works for me with this this non academic method.

Ok, thanks to a fellow cloudron user on the chat (many thanks robi !), I just made my admin page up again. I just copied mywebadmin directory on my server to adashboard directory on the same level, and yay! the OAuth error just disapeared!

CarbonBee

@darkben Well, that's exactly what I did, but it ends with the OAuth error. I just fixed it (seemy last answer :) ).

darkben

ok @CarbonBee i don't notice this Oauth error on my server but i keep an eye on this post.
PS : i totally reboot the server and not only Cloudron...
Thanks !

Did you guys figure this out? Sorry for the confusion with all those moving directories.

I have the same error "Unknown OAuth client" if I try to login at my.<domain>.<tld>. I tried the fix from darkben/CarbonBee without any luck.

Btw. Where can I find the current documentation for manual updates since the wiki page on the box repo is gone.

girish

I guess you are looking forhttps://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/wikis ?

x1tan

@girish Yes thats where the wiki was accessible before. Currently I get "The page could not be found or you don't have permission to view it.".

And any ideass concerning the OAuth Error?

nebulon

@x1tan I have made the page publicly accessible now. For some reason it had a wrong setting there.
