Solved Jellyfin install

[matthewdykstra]

I am trying to install jellyfin on a home MacPro Deskop Server With Linux Ubuntu 20.04 with all updates and cloudron installed but it is stuck on Installing - Waiting for Cloudron to initialize has been that way for over an hour how can i fix this?

[girish]

@matthewdykstra looks like Cloudron didn't completely start up. If you go to Services view, are all the things green ? Can you also check if there are any errors in /home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/box.log ?

[matthewdykstra]

@girish said in Jellyfin install:

/home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/box.log

what would i be looking for?

[matthewdykstra]

I Looked at my logs and i don't see anything weird so what could it be?

[girish]

@matthewdykstra maybe you can run systemctl restart box in another shell session and tail the logs file in another session. Can you paste the logs in https://paste.cloudron.io ?

Also, are all the services green in the Services view (I suspect one of them is not starting up for whatever reason) ?

[matthewdykstra]

so i restarted the box and it worked but only I cannot get working is the plugins now the repository will not load

[matthewdykstra]

i think i identified the issue but how do i fix it?this only shows up when I go to add plugins

Jellyfin.Server.Middleware.ExceptionMiddleware: Error processing request: Read-only file system. URL GET /Packages.

@matthewdykstra is this reproducible with any plugin? I can try to reproduce it here.

[matthewdykstra]

@girish no it is just when I click on cataloge it will not load

[matthewdykstra]

so here is what I am experiencing it just hangs when I go into catalogue and I cannot get into it to add the three plugins I need when I manually got it working on Linux Mint 20.04

@matthewdykstra I can reproduce the issue. There indeed appears to be a 500 error when trying to load the plugin catalog.

[matthewdykstra]

@mehdi So may I ask how I can fix the issue?

[mehdi]

@matthewdykstra I do not know, or I would have said ^^

It is most probably a problem with the packaging : they must have added some kind of cache directory for the plugins in a recent update, and as the cloudron package uses a read-only base, and has not taken this particular directory into account, it fails. This will need a small tweak to the package to fix. The "hard" part (and when I say "hard", it may actually be trivial and take 2 minutes, but it may be harder to pinpoint) is going to be to find which directory.

@matthewdykstra I am able to reproduce this as well.

17:28:10 - [00:28:10] [ERR] [16] Jellyfin.Server.Middleware.ExceptionMiddleware: Error processing request: Read-only file system. URL GET /Packages.

Looking into it now.

@matthewdykstra I have pushed an update, can you please update and try?

[matthewdykstra]
