Repair OMV installation?

1. offizieller Beitrag

    Hey, I have sadly corrupted my OMV installation I believe.

    I had some issue with the smartmontools package, so I just wanted to remove and install it again, sadly I didn't expect it to remove critical OMV stuff, this is the delete log:

    I figured right away that I probably screwed something, and as expected OMV failed to work afterwards.

    I have managed to manually install all the deleted stuff, then when I tried to login I got an error from rpc.php, initially when opening the web page:

    Code
    message
: 
"Session not authenticated."
trace
: 
"OMV\\HttpErrorException: Session not authenticated. in /usr/share/php/openmediavault/session.inc:146\nStack trace:\n#0 /usr/share/php/openmediavault/rpc/proxy/json.inc(81): OMV\\Session->validateAuthentication()\n#1 /var/www/openmediavault/rpc.php(45): OMV\\Rpc\\Proxy\\Json->handle()\n#2 {main}"
response
: 
null

    When I tried to login it didn't work. It started working again after I executed omv-engined -d -f

    I tried to have it running automatically, but it's not working, so in order for me to actually be able to log into OMV, I need to first execute that(even with the command, the above error still shows on the login page, but after logging in I see no errors on network and everything seems to load ok.


    My question is what should be the following steps? Is there any way to repair OMV? Should I completely uninstall OMV? Personally it feels like things are close to being as usual, just need to solve the rpc.php error on login page and solve the omv-engined -d -f not running automatically.


    Any ideas? I don't really want to lose all my OS changes.


    Thanks!

    Thanks

    OMV is installed and on the latest version.


    This is without any warranty but it won't do anymore damage than already is.

    Just accept the fact that it also might not solve it.

    If you want to play it safe, make a working clone of the OS drive PRIOR to try anything further.


    To try to fix whatever issues are happening, you can run the install script to see if it will fix it:



    sudo wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/installScript/raw/master/install | sudo bash

    Oh nice, I was actually trying to search for the answer to whether the install script deletes the data, guess I should've just looked at the github repo first thing...It will take me some time to finish things I'm currently doing with my NAS and only then I'll be able to perform the backup and run the script.


    Will update, thanks! :)

    Ok, so I've ran the script again, it seems to solve the issue that required me to do omv-engined -d -f

    It's now working find in terms of login and everything else around it.


    I do still get the same error(status code 401) as above in the login page:

    Code
    message
: 
"Session not authenticated."
trace
: 
"OMV\\HttpErrorException: Session not authenticated. in /usr/share/php/openmediavault/session.inc:146\nStack trace:\n#0 /usr/share/php/openmediavault/rpc/proxy/json.inc(81): OMV\\Session->validateAuthentication()\n#1 /var/www/openmediavault/rpc.php(45): OMV\\Rpc\\Proxy\\Json->handle()\n#2 {main}"
response
: 
null

    Should I care? Should it matter with anything? I'm not sure I notice any issues besides that.

    Thanks.

    Don't have an answer for it, sorry.


    Since this is from the OMV Core, maybe votdev can give you a better info.

    So I tried to uninstall OMV and reinstall it too(apt-get purge openmediavault apt-get autoremove)

    That still didn't work. I assume that removing OMV still keeps some configurations which causes some faulty settings to persist even when reinstalling.


    Any ideas how can clean that without completely reinstalling the system? ( I have some other stuff installed and configured already, not things that are necessarily related)

    The last option would be to backup everything and clean install raspbian but it would be quite annoying.

    So I tried to uninstall OMV and reinstall it too(apt-get purge openmediavault apt-get autoremove)

    Why? With the --purge argument you simply deleted ALL configurations made on/from OMV.

    This means that you will have to reconfigure everything again on OMV (the exact same thing you were trying to prevent).


    Your system is in such a messed state that will be easier to just do a clean install.

    With the same reply above, even if you manage to reinstall OMV to a working condition, it will be a fresh install.

    You'll have to do every configuration again.


    If you have a backup working clone PRIOR to that, use it and take notes (I take screenshots of the OMV pages and keep it on the PC) of the configurations.


    When going for a fresh-install, it's only a matter of redo it.


    [P.S]

    And only now, I see you're on RaspiOS:

    I don't know what things you were doing outside OMV scope but it will be faster and cleaner to just start fresh.

    Just avoid to install/configure things outside OMV.


    If needed, docker is there to run other stuff.

    Well that's the thing, it *didn't* purge all configurations. E.g - user, settings, nginx, etc, etc, etc.

    Settings up OMV is the easy part here, that's why I tried to focus on that, but with current state, I don't think there's much hope as it's too messed up.


    Setting up a fresh OMV is super easy, I'm just not sure about everything else I have. I did backup all the docker images and settings etc, but I have other stuff that aren't on docker. I just hope it's really enough :p


    Thanks.

    I did backup all the docker images and settings etc

    As long as you have the volumes and YMLs kept safe, launching it on a different system is peanuts, ;)

    Couldn't agree more.

    Zitat von msacco

    but I have other stuff that aren't on docker.

    You really should avoid to install things on host.

    My (small) experience on the Pis (now a CM4) is that the more vanilla system it is, the less worries you'll have.


    Zitat von msacco

    I also hope you can sort it out, :)

    So....I start to wonder whether this might actually just be a bug in OMV, and not really an issue with my setup...

    I have installed a clean raspbian OS, installed OMV via the installation script(apt update/upgrade before ofc).


    Went to the OMV interface, logged in, opened a new tab, navigate to OMV again and it asks for login credentials again.

    Is it a bug? Was this always the behavior(I think it wasn't?), I'm starting to get real confused here.

    Were there any updates recently? Could one of them caused this?


    Thanks.

    RE: OMV asks for login each time
    Auth data is now stored in the browser session storage instead of locale storage. This has the consequence that a new tab can not access the session data of another tab. This has been done because of security.

    Yep, so seems like I actually managed to fix my OMV installation, just wasn't aware of this change so I thought it still wasn't fixed :p
