Several duplicate and recurring log messages in event log

[esawtooth]

I am getting several recurrent messages in the event log every couple of minutes with the following text:

"Cloudron started with version 6.0.1"
{
  "version": "6.0.1"
}

Which process could be raising these events so frequently and how can I debug the issue? Any pointers on this would be great. I am concerned that some service might be trying to start over and over again.

@esawtooth Your suspicion is correct. I think that the box service is restarting over and over. Can you check the logs ? /home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/box.log . You will see a big banner with the version number whenever the box code restarts.

I think this has started happening after I rebooted my cloudron after there were some ubuntu security updates installed. rssreader.<server> refers to the FreshRSS app, if that's of relevance. It is in stopped state on the dashboard.

@esawtooth Ah thanks, https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/f2fba1886061a70bd49bd2874733814d6d925a2a is the fix.

Just change /home/yellowtent/box/src/scheduler.js line 82 from

                debug(`createJobs: ${taskName} (${app.fqdn}) will run in container ${container.id}`);

to

                debug(`createJobs: ${taskName} (${app.fqdn}) will run in container ${containerName}`);

It's just replacing container.id with containerName. Then systemctl restart box.

[esawtooth]

@girish That fixed it. Thanks!
