Docker Install issue: bc-server respawning over & over

rvandam · July 31, 2023, 2:05am

Installed the docker version of BC3 and the docker container for bc-server keeps crashing. I am unable to connect via http:\{server}:7001

The other containers: bc-mysql, bc-mail, uptime-kuma are all stable:

I tried removing all of the docker containers & reinstalling with same result. Used default settings. “NO” to smtp & “NO” to NFS.

curtishall · July 31, 2023, 3:02am

Looks like the MySQL password is incorrect. Did you use any special characters in the password?

rvandam · August 1, 2023, 2:04am

No. I think the issue is that bc-server doesnot have access to mysql (ports). I don’t see the ports exposed on the host machine ie “netstat -an | grep 3306” comes up empty. if I open a shell to bc-mysql I can login to the server using the password and even access the bluecherry db. I see an account for admin:

Docker ps:
1fb55890f447 louislam/uptime-kuma:latest “/usr/bin/dumb-init …” 7 minutes ago Up 7 minutes (healthy) 0.0.0.0:1337->3001/tcp, :::1337->3001/tcp uptime-kuma
91fee7963314 mysql:latest “docker-entrypoint.s…” 7 minutes ago Up 7 minutes 3306/tcp, 33060/tcp bc-mysql

Looks like for the other docker containers the ports are exposed on the host, but bc-mysql isn’t. is this the problem?

Thanks for your help!

curtishall · August 1, 2023, 2:45am

Strange. I just did a clean install on a Fedora droplet I spun on up DigitalOcean and I can’t reproduce this:

[root@centos-s-2vcpu-4gb-amd-sfo3-01 bluecherry-docker]# docker exec -it bc-server /bin/bash

Can I get remote (ssh) access to this server?

rvandam · August 2, 2023, 6:20pm

Not accessible via internet unfortunately. What version of Docker are you using?

Here is my version info:

GitCommit:
docker-init:
Version: 0.19.0
GitCommit: de40ad0

Also I had to modify the install.sh file to use “docker-compose” instead of “docker compose” to get the script to run.

docker-compose pull
docker-compose up bc-mysql -d

I think if I make the change to “docker-compose.yml”

bc-mysql:
image: mysql:latest
container_name: bc-mysql
command: --default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
restart: always
networks:
- bluecherry_net
ports:
- “3306:3306/tcp”
- “33060:33060/tcp”

it would work, but I cannot get the command:
docker-compose run bluecherry bc-database-create

to run:
dbname=bluecherry

echo ‘Testing whether database already exists…’
Testing whether database already exists…
echo ‘show databases’
mysql_wrapper -hbc-mysql -uroot -Dbluecherry
echo -e ‘\n\n\tDatabase ‘'‘bluecherry’'’ already exists, but /etc/bluecherry.conf is not found.’
```
  Database 'bluecherry' already exists, but /etc/bluecherry.conf is not found.
```
echo -e ‘\tAborting installation. In order to proceed installation, please do one of following things:\n’ ‘\t * Restore /etc/bluecherry.conf config file if it was removed, template is in /usr/share/bluecherry/bluecherry.conf.in;\n’

echo -e ‘\t * Remove the database ‘'‘bluecherry’'’ manually.\n\n’

exit 1

I removed bc-mysql from docker, then ran:

docker-compose pull
docker-compose up bc-mysql -d
echo “Sleeping 45 seconds to make sure the database is initialized correctly…”
echo “\n\n”
sleep 45
docker-compose stop bc-mysql
docker-compose up -d bc-mysql

echo “Sleeping another 15 seconds to run the database creation scripts…”
echo “\n\n”

sleep 15
docker-compose run bluecherry bc-database-create

Thats when I get stuck with the above error.

Thanks & Sorry for the trouble.

Which distribution are you using? Most modern distributions should support Docker compose v2 (ie ‘docker compose’)

rvandam · August 3, 2023, 3:16am

I am using ArchLinux: has Docker-compose version:
Docker Compose version 2.20.2 (2023-07-19)

Which is the lastest version available.

curtishall · August 3, 2023, 3:40am

okay…let me do some testing on ArchLinux and docker-compose (v1) and I’ll let you know

rvandam · August 3, 2023, 4:09pm

Hold on, I thought I was using version V2. let me see if I can figure this out.

curtishall · August 3, 2023, 5:27pm

Can you run:

pacman -S docker-compose

rvandam · August 3, 2023, 8:39pm

I did run the pacman -Sy docker. I was able to get the install script running with “docker compose”, I restarted the Docker service & that make have fixed the issue with docker-compose vs “docker compose”.
I removed all docker containers, and re-ran the bluecherry install script which completed, but bc-server still keeps on crashing.

from the bluecherry container

docker exec -it bc-server bash
root@3ca7cceb4647:~# mysql -p

mysql>

So it seems to able to connect to the bc-mysql, so I don’t think its a issue accessing mysql. When you mentioned that you taught it was unable to access the mysql DB, I ran down a rabbit hole thinking there was no comm. between bc-server & bc-mysql.

the password used is ‘mypassword’ no funk characters just all lower case.

If you run ‘docker compose logs |grep bc-server’ do you see rsyslog errors?

rvandam · August 4, 2023, 1:58am

Yes:

If you want to run multiple instances of rsyslog, you need to specify
bc-server | different pid files for them (-i option).
bc-server | rsyslogd: run failed with error -3000 (see rsyslog.h or try You searched for error 3000 - rsyslog to learn what that number means)

These are the processes running on bc-server:

I see the problem regarding rsyslog…two processes are being started. I’m working on figuring that out now.

For the first problem…I did a clean install on arch linux and tested again and it worked fine. The docker containers or network might be cached. If there aren’t any other docker containers running on that system you can do:

cd bluecherry-docker
docker compose rm -f
docker system prune -a
cd …/
rm -rf bluecherry-docker

then do the install again

curtishall · August 4, 2023, 3:10am

Try checking editing docker-compose.yml line 19 and change from bluecherry:latest to bluecherry:citesting

Then run docker compose pull and docker compose up -d

If you get it working and you notice rsyslogd taking 100% CPU try this on the arch linux host:

mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/
mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/containerd.service.d/

echo "[Service]
LimitNOFILE=1048576" > /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/override.conf

echo "[Service]
LimitNOFILE=1048576" > /etc/systemd/system/containerd.service.d/override.conf

Then restart the host and see if the cpu usage goes down

I got to start by changing /usr/sbin/rsyslogd to /usr/sbin/rsyslogd -n
then I manually ran the other script commands to start nginx, php & bluecherry and it started.

I’ll try the test version you listed.

rvandam · August 4, 2023, 4:24am

citesting does not start php & bluecherry services:

I tried starting php & bluecherry manually but only php remains running:

I noticed rsyslogd is no longer running either

also php & eginx is missing from entrypoint.sh i see exec “$@” but I am not sure what that is. with all the variables its making it difficult to read to provide you feedback.

Can you include nano in the next package update, I tried apt-get install nano but it fails. the last bc-server container, included nano.

curtishall · August 5, 2023, 5:04pm

I included nano, however I think I see the problem and it is arch specific. Let me do some testing and I’ll let you know
