Hi there,

another odd issue (maybe combined with this: Installation on Hetzner Cloud: DNS issue )

I could setup my OMV6 well, also was able to access via SSH and via SMB

I did a config change to make OMV6 more secure by enforcing to use HTTPS instead of HTTP (which was also running during all configurations)

The OMV was working now for about 30h (2 nights) and today the webUI is not accessible anymore

I am getting

via https://<IP> and via https://mydnsname.com

403 Forbidden

nginx

---------------

via http://<IP> and via http://mydnsname.com

it redirects to https://<theEnteredWay>

and therefore also to the above 403 page

----------------

found this in the syslog

monit[930]: 'omv-engined' failed to start (exit status 1) -- '/bin/systemctl start openmediavault-engined': Failed to start openmediavault-engined.service: Unit openmediavault-engined.service is masked.#012

I have no clue why this happens. And this is the result:

ls -l /etc/systemd/system/|grep openme
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    9 Jun 26 17:44 openmediavault-beep-down.service -> /dev/null
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    9 Jun 26 17:44 openmediavault-beep-up.service -> /dev/null
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    9 Jun 26 17:44 openmediavault-cleanup-monit.service -> /dev/null
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    9 Jun 26 17:44 openmediavault-cleanup-php.service -> /dev/null

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    9 Jun 26 17:44 openmediavault-issue.service -> /dev/null

Any hints how to narrow the problem down?

Any hints how to fix?

Code

systemctl unmask openmediavault-engined
systemctl enable openmediavault-engined
systemctl start openmediavault-engined

tried it

~# systemctl unmask openmediavault-engined
Removed /etc/systemd/system/openmediavault-engined.service.
~# systemctl enable openmediavault-engined
Failed to enable unit: Unit file openmediavault-engined.service does not exist.

failing on second command

the server was running and restarted was not touched over the night

It could be that the auto update of apt was running over night, but this should not cause such issues?

Zitat von macom

Which auto update? OMV installs only security updates automatically. Did you install something like unattended-upgrades?

yes, this is getting installed with a default stack for debian and ubuntu servers

Is it prohibited with OMV6?

What is the output of

dpkg -l | grep openmedia

this is funny

dpkg -l | grep openmedia
rc  openmediavault                 6.0.30-1                       all          openmediavault - The open network attached storage solution
ii  openmediavault-keyring         1.0                            all          GnuPG archive keys of the OpenMediaVault archive

I never deinstalled openmediavault

checked even the bash history, no

dpkg or apt command with remove or purge triggered

openmediavault

Zitat von macom

Try

apt install --reinstall openmediavault and post the output

and check log files in /var/log/apt

got it

apt install --reinstall openmediavault


The following packages will be REMOVED:
ntp
The following NEW packages will be installed:
chrony openmediavault

NTP is our default setup for all servers, and thus part of our packages we install on all distributions

Is there a mandatory requirement of OMV6 to chrony?

okay got the dependency in terms of the deb dependency with your pinpointing

but for me is unclear if OMV6 really needs Chrony or would a NTP compatible solution fulfill the requirements.

I have to modify now our system management environment to skip NTP on openmediavault installations, but as you can assume I am not happy about it, since now I have a "odd" NTP management of hosts, which depend on openmediavault

If OMV6 is dependending on chrony, why specifically chrony was choosen and where is the dependency comming from?

okay got it. It is a hard development dependency

thank you for your clarification
