Solved Install Failed

[woke]

I have a VPS with my hosting provider and just installed a fresh Ubuntu 18.04LTS OS, updated everything, and then followed the instructions to install Cloudron. For some reason, I keep getting an error during the same part of the install.

This is what the error says:
=> Installing base dependencies and downloading docker images (this takes some time) ...Init script failed. See /var/log/cloudron-setup.log for details"

Inside the log, at the bottom, I see this failure:
"# debconf-set-selection of unattended-upgrades/enable_auto_updates + dpkg-reconfigure does not work
cp /usr/share/unattended-upgrades/20auto-upgrades /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades

echo "==> Installing node.js"
==> Installing node.js
mkdir -p /usr/local/node-10.18.1
curl -sL https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.18.1/node-v10.18.1-linux-x64.tar.gz | tar zxvf - --strip-components=1 -C /us$

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now"

Any idea what the cause is?

Hm this looks like a temporary issue with the nodejs.org server. Can you try again by simply rerunning the cloudron-setup script again with the same arguments?

Maybe retry a bit later if it still fails.

So I just waited about 10 hours and then completely reinstalled Ubuntu 18.04LTS, went through the install setup again, and got stuck at the exact same spot.

"=> Installing base dependencies and downloading docker images (this takes some time) ...Init script failed. See /var/log/cloudron-setup.log for details"

@woke Can you try the following on the server:

cd tmp

curl -sL https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.18.1/node-v10.18.1-linux-x64.tar.gz | tar zvxf -

Here is what I received:
":~# curl -sL https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.18.1/node-v10.18.1-linux-x64.tar.gz | tar zvxf -

@woke Thanks, you are supposed to see something like this:

root@localhost:/tmp# curl -sL https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.18.1/node-v10.18.1-linux-x64.tar.gz | tar zvxf -
node-v10.18.1-linux-x64/
node-v10.18.1-linux-x64/CHANGELOG.md

node-v10.18.1-linux-x64/share/man/
node-v10.18.1-linux-x64/share/man/man1/
...

Looks like some networking issue. Can you try first, if you can just download it?

wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.18.1/node-v10.18.1-linux-x64.tar.gz

If that doesn't work, then

host nodejs.org
ping nodejs.org

I get:

root@localhost:/tmp# ping nodejs.org

@girish Thanks for the assistance.

Apparently this was caused by a misconfigured IPv6 / Ubuntu installation script which my host helped me diagnose and correct. Thank you for your help, I'm glad I stumbled upon Cloudron.
