Impossible to do the post installation / Impossible de faire la post installation

What type of hardware are you using: Raspberry Pi 3, 4+
What YunoHost version are you running: 10.0.7
How are you able to access your server: The webadmin

Describe your issue

Hello,

I installed yunohost successfully on the first try today. However I broke it (by trying to play around a VPN. it is when i uninstalled it that everything broke down), and decided to reinstall it from new. However since i did this, I can’t do the post-installation. I’m stuck in a never ending loop of recreating the creditential over and over again. I tried to do ssh root@11.22.33.44, but got an error:
ssh: connect to host 11.22.33.44 port 22: Connection timed out. And at the end of the yunohost post-intallation, I can’t connect by putting my credidential and only see a big red dot at the bottom right, saying post-installation, without any log possible to see.
I tried to reformat the ssd card, reboot everything but didn’t succed. If you have any advice i will take it.
Thanks

Bonjour,
j ai installé pour la premiere fois Yunohost facilement. Malheuresuemet je l ai cassé (en desinstallant un VPN, c’est la que les soucis ont commencé). J ai reessayer de reinstaller yunohost de nouveau. Sauf que je suis coincé dasn une boucle pour la post-installation et ça ne s arrete jamais. Quand j essaye de faire ssh root@11.22.33.44, j obtiens la reponse suivante: ssh: connect to host 11.22.33.44 port 22: Connection timed out
Sur le navigateur, j’ai seulement une lumiere rouge a cote d’unpost installation sans aucun log disponible.

Merci pour votre lecture, et si vous avez des conseils.
Merci

Pas de log disponible a part le ssh connection timed out port 22

Je dirais que le plus simple c’est que tu fasses la postinstall depuis la ligne de commande en SSH (après avoir complètement reset ton serveur)

Peut-être que ça crashera mais au moins tu devrais avoir le détail complet de ce qui se passe avec un vrai message d’erreur et si tu nous partages tout ça on devrait pouvoir avancer

Les etapes que je viens de faire a l instant: reflash le disk et tentait une connexion en ssh en tapant

ssh root@11.22.33.44

et j ai encore la meme erreur:

ssh: connect to host 11.22.33.44 port 22: Connection timed out

J ai l impression que le probleme ne vient pas de yunohost mais de mon modem qui bloque l acces.

Si le port 22 n’est pas correctement exposé (notamment configuration du port forwarding sur la box), alors il faut utiliser l’IP locale de la machine, traditionnellement en 192.168.x.y

Bienvenue a Yunohost!

Pity the experience is not flawless, and sorry for continuing in English :wink:

Is that a typo? I think we went from 4 to 11, to sync with Debian version numbering.

Edit to add: with Raspberry Pi you’d be able to connect a monitor and keyboard. You could then login on the RPi directly to check a few things.

Some observations:

  • You mention 11.22.33.44 as IP. I understand that it is a stand in for your actual IP. Is it the public or the private IP that you use? Do you know the difference?
  • You do have access to the webadmin. On which address is that?
    • Is it an IP, or hostname? You mention VPS. Have you already looked into DNS?
  • Seeing the first install was without a problem, and the second install did not repair damage after breaking the first install:
    • Can you be sure formatting the SD card worked successfully?
    • Some way to check (after log in directly on RPi): see whether there are files in /var/log that are older than your second install date/time

Thank you to both of you ! I did manage to connect by using my ip address and i found out the error. The dns was not available. I got this error using the CLI command but not when i was using the browser one.

Also yes it is a typo, i am on 12.0.7 but yesterday after breaking everything i couldn’t quite remember it
Everything (for now) is working fine. Also thanks for your time,appreciate it

So in case other people need it, I solved my error by doing this:

Find the ip to my yunohost server, ssh root@192.168.x.y, and follow the documentation after. in the command line and not on the browser.
The error was mostly that the dns was not available as i was recreating the same one over and over again :sob:

I guess can also say i was part of the problem :sweat_smile:
