Solved unable to run on ubuntu 20.04

[moussan]

i cant seem to get cloudron to function correctly.
i go through the installation process but get a notice to check the installation log.

see below, where is the issue.
when i go to the installation ip, i see an nginx page stating it is installed but probably not configured correctly.

can anyone help please.

root@server:~# nano /var/log/cloudron-setup.log

did the installation process not finish?

@moussan indeed it looks like the journald config step is failing with:

2021-10-12T14:25:53 ==> start: Configuring journald
setfacl: /var/log/journal/*/system.journal: No such file or directory

Which VPS provider is this?

I fixed this exact issue in https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/73315a42fef03bc144fdfd707b8a6d5905733109 since it was failing in time4vps servers.

Workaround: mkdir -p /var/log/journal/foo && touch /var/log/journal/*/system.journal . Then run the setup script again.

@girish isn't that bit supposed to be outside of the if?

[girish]

@msbt i removed the setfacl entirely. is that what you are asking?

[msbt]

@girish no, the line with chown root:systemd-journal /var/log/journal, that was always running before, now only in the if condition, not sure if it's required though

[girish]

@msbt ah, got it. The if block should ideally never run. It should only run on distros which do not have /var/log/journal (I don't understand why it's not there on some specific VPS, some ubuntu or provider flakiness).

@girish that's what I meant, the cmd ran always before, but now only in the rare case the directory isn't there
