Solved Cloudron can't fully reboot after update

[therealwebmaster]

I had not enough space left to back up apps in cloudron neither update
Update to 7.2.2 crashed, backup was not possible, one installation failed
Changed the attached volume to 40 gb instead of 20, in Amazon AWS
Came back to cloudron. Was still showing 20gb
Rebooted the machine using cloudron admin
Nothing..
Rebooted in AWS.. nothing. Not responding but booting.

Let it go while talking to Cloudron support. And finally the machine came back to life. More than 20 hours after.

Now it's available.. I can connect to Cloudron admin. But all apps are not responding, most admin panel not responding, timeouts all the time.

Still 20gb, 120 mb space left.

The machine is not usable. I tried to make some space by removing app. Error everytime.

Cloudron support dont know what's going on.

@therealwebmaster normally when resizing a disk with a cloud provider the disk does not get enlarged by just clicking more storage.

Does fdisk -l show the correct space for the disk?
If so, you need to enlarge the partition manually.

Maybe this helps?

@BrutalBirdie Thanks. SSH login is not possible

@therealwebmaster From the dashboard, does Support -> Enable Remote Access work ? If so, we can access it.

@girish I already told ya.. timeout on this page all the time.

[therealwebmaster]

I also still wonder why resizing the volume in AWS failed.

[girish]

@therealwebmaster unfortunately because of how these disks work, even if you change the size of hard disk, the size of the filesystem does not change. To change the size of filesystem, one has to be able to SSH. No way around it, unless the VPS provider has a way to do this but afaik AWS does not have any other way.

Can you explain why you don't have SSH access? Is it because you lost the private SSH keys?

If you lost it, please see https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/user-data-replace-key-pair-ec2/ to regain access.

[therealwebmaster]

@girish What do I do when i SSH into?

[girish]

@therealwebmaster resize the filesystem as described here - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/recognize-expanded-volume-linux.html#extend-file-system

(If you need help, you can give us remote access and I can take it from there. https://docs.cloudron.io/support/#ssh-keys to give us access)

[therealwebmaster]

@girish As now impossible to connect, even with good private keys. The instance is not responsive.

[girish]

@therealwebmaster https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ec2-launch-issue/ is another idea to cleanup the disk.

But otherwise, do you have external Cloudron backups? It's quite easy to recover from cloudron backups - see https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#restore-cloudron .
