Error: listen EADDRNOTAVAIL: address not available 172.18.0.1:3003

[flaxxain]

Hey,

Getting this error in box.log

I checked that nothing else is running on port 3003.

The systemctl status docker is also active & running.

But when I check docker ps

It shows me empty results.

https://prnt.sc/c98bOEPU8ShY

Can you please help me with the issue?

Thanks!

Checking my Cloudron:

netstat -tulpen | grep -i 3003

3003 used by 1128/node. What process?

lsof -p 1128
node    1128 yellowtent  cwd       DIR                8,1     4096 129326 /home/yellowtent/box

So the box.js.

Looking at:

Can you check if your box.service is really running 🤨
And even better, just run:

cloudron-support --troubleshoot

To let Cloudron check itself for issues and send the output of that command here please.

[flaxxain]

Hello,

Yes my box.service is active and running.

But
netstat -tulpen | grep -i 3003 got me an empty output

https://prnt.sc/jwiVRCZpyuaq

Also, I tried running the command:

cloudron-support --troubleshoot

and it got me the below error:

[FAIL] box service keeps restarting, please investigate the error by inspecting /home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/box.log

And in box.log I got the error I created the ticket with.

Not sure what's and where's wrong.

Thanks!

@flaxxain said in Error: listen EADDRNOTAVAIL: address not available 172.18.0.1:3003:

I created the ticket with

at support@cloudron.io?
I mean since we are already here, why not contiue here
If you can post your box.log here, and I might be able to assist further right now.

[flaxxain]

No.. I did not create any ticket to support, with the line I meant I made a forum topic.

Here below is the box.log:

So the box process keeps restarting as it can't bind to 172.18.0.1:3003 try to restart docker with systemctl restart docker maybe it got hung up somewhere and didn't release some initial bind.

[flaxxain]

I did that way before but it's the same, first it shows Cloudron is offline. Reconnecting… and then blank screen after some time.

https://prnt.sc/1dKPDSBzvJA5

FYI, recently I faced the

Error: Unable to initialize OpenID: Get "https://my.flaxxa.in/openid/.well-known/openid-configuration ": dial tcp 172.18.0.1:443: i/o timeout (*fmt.wrapError)

so I ran the below command:

cloudron-support --recreate-docker

as it was solved in my previous topics.

Is this the issue?

Need help!

Thanks!

[nebulon]

The broken dashboard can be at least explained with the constant restarting of the box process. Same goes for the OpenID error.

The main question remains, why 3003 on the docker bridge is not bindable. Something in docker is either hogging this or docker got into some bad state. So fuser 3003/tcp is also not returning anything?

[joseph]

@flaxxain said in Error: listen EADDRNOTAVAIL: address not available 172.18.0.1:3003:

EADDRNOTAVAIL

Can you also check ip addr | grep 172.18.0.1 ? It looks like the docker network itself might be missing. You can try docker network create --subnet=172.18.0.0/16 --ip-range=172.18.0.0/20 --gateway 172.18.0.1 cloudron --ipv6 --subnet=fd00:c107:d509::/64 and then systemctl restart box .

[flaxxain]

Hey @joseph, your solution worked perfectly.

First, the command:
ip addr | grep 172.18.0.1

got me an empty output, and then when I ran the other commands, it worked smoothly.

Now, even my app has started working fine.

Thanks a lot!

Also, @joseph, why does this Minio installation stop working all of a sudden after a few days? Is there any solution to stop this from happening repeatedly, as this causes a lot of downtime for me? Let me know.

Thanks!

Unless you deleted docker storage (or used cloudron-support --recreate-docker and for some reason that was incomplete), I am not sure why the docker network will go missing . I think best to check again here if it happens again in a few days, but it's quite unlikely .
