Unable to update because low space is reported...

[Beardmann]

Hi
I have setup a fairly new installation on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS a base minimized install.
I am on Cloudron version 9.0.6
I have a 200GB disk which I use about 10% of, so nowhere near full.
I have just setup email and one webmail application...

Never the less I get this error as I try to update:

box:tasks updating task 143 with: {"percent":1,"message":"Checking disk space"}
Nov 19 21:57:47 box:shell df: df -B1 --output=source,fstype,size,used,avail,pcent,target /

And here is what Ubuntu see...

To me it looks like the update space check looks at tmpfs in order to get the 1.6GB? So maybe the script is "broken" somehow? Or am I missing something here?
Maybe (just maybe) this could be because this is a minimized version of Ubuntu, maybe the "df" command is different some how to the one you get if you "unminimize" your installation...

So here is the df details just in case...

root@mail:# df --version
df (GNU coreutils) 9.4

/B

The code in question uses df -B1 --output=source,fstype,size,used,avail,pcent,target / to check the rootfs at /.
Can you run that via SSH and see what that reports?

That line seems to parse fine Is it possible you resized the disk at some point and maybe the error message is just obsolete?

If you are comfortable with node.js, I can tell you how to debug:

• Edit the file /home/yellowtent/box/src/updater.js . Around line 157

    const [error, diskUsage] = await safe(df.file('/'));
    if (error) throw new BoxError(BoxError.FS_ERROR, error);
    console.dir(diskUsage); // i added this

Then, systemctl restart box and try to update again.

If that looks wrong, further edit /home/yellowtent/box/src/df.js. Around line 63:

    const lines = output.trim().split('\n').slice(1); // discard header
    console.dir(lines[0]); // i added this
    return parseLine(lines[0]);

Then, systemctl restart box and try to update again.

If you are not comfortable, can you write to us at support@cloudron.io and we can debug this quickly .

I have expanded the disk+LVM+filesystem (this is a VM)...
The message is shown everytime I try to update, so it is "recent"...
I have nothing in /home/.... guess because it is running docker, but check container can I fix this? Also I guess it will get overwritten when the docker image is updated?

[Beardmann]

...I tried to search the whole filesystem for "updater.js" and "df.js" and found nothing...

[nebulon]

Those files are in /home/yellwotent/box/src. Since you mentioned that you have nothing in home, I wonder how you had installed Cloudron then. While apps and services run in docker, the main platform is on the host system.

Sorry, my mistake... looked at the wrong server all along.... nothing is wrong with anything other than me
