Describe your issue

There are some issues about a white screen when logging into the admin panel, such as White Screen Issue When Accessing YunoHost Admin Panel. I had the same issue and a comment there gave me some clues.

The issue happens when I go to the Domains page: the screen becomes blank, and no matter how many times I logout/login the admin panel remains blank. I looked in /var/log/yunohost/yunohost-api.log and saw the request for /domains/*/cert?full&locale=en took 410s: it looks like each domain is checked sequentially and times out after 10 seconds for the main domain and 20 seconds for subdomains. 20 subdomains, 410 seconds.

Going into each of them also takes a lot of time, ~40s.

I have listed the full log below, with actual domains elided for privacy. Maybe an interesting data point: I only actually use 2 of them, most are dormant

Answer

It was DNS

I manually put FDN’s DNS and they are now down. Getting the default DNS back with yunohost tools regen-conf dnsmasq did the trick.

I am now going through each of the unused one and removing them one by one, and for some reason ynh goes through each domain twice and still goes in timeouts:
