Yunohost api dead

Support
,
#1

Hi,
my yunhost is brokn since I tried to update Nextcloud. The API does not respond any more. The command yunohost returns yunohost: command not found

and this systemctl status yunohost-api gives

   Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)
   Active: inactive (dead)

Finally I get this in the api logs if I run tail -n 300 /var/log/yunohost/yunohost-api.log:

I don’t know how to fix this !
Thanks in advance !

Uuuuuh wokay so let’s maybe have a look first at

dpkg --list | grep yunohost

Thanks for the quick answer. I get this:

Sooo are you doing this as root (or admin) …?

What if you run ls /usr/bin/yunohost ? Does it answers “/usr/bin/yunohost” ? (Otherwise it sounded like yunohost got uninstalled somehow but dpkg says it’s still there ?

If you werent logged as root/admin, can you retry sudo systemctl status yunohost-api

#5

I logged as root. When I run sudo systemctl status yunohost-api, I get the same result:

â—Ź yunohost-api.service
   Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)
   Active: inactive (dead)
#6

Should I reinstall Yunohost ? If yes, can I do it without loosing my data ? How should I proceed ?
Note that the only thing I did is to try to update my Nextcloud.

#7

No please don’t jump into reinstalling Yunohost … Yunohost is still there …

It looks like it’s only the webadmin api/client which ain’t there (which is not that much of a deal)

What happens if you try to apt install yunohost-admin

It works, I get my yunohost back !

But, if I try to update system, I am asked to run the postinstall configuration. So I ran this:
sudo yunohost tools postinstall
and I get this error https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/xasiwozowu

#9

Weelll … that should not have happened … ideally you should not have run the postinstall considering your server was already postinstalled … so not sure what happens now …

I don’t understand how this kind of issue can arise, I’ve seen this many times in the past and thought it was gone but apparently nope … Basically what tells yunohost that it’s already postinstalled is the existence of a file /etc/yunohost/installed and there’s no reason why this file should get deleted whatsoever …

So idk what state you server is in right now … Maybe try to

touch /etc/yunohost/installed

Then it would be really great to share the log of the nextcloud upgrade by going in the webadmin in Tools > Logs, find the upgrade log and share it with the corresponding button …

#10

Well I did this because I visited the Administration part of the web interface, and I have been invited to run the post-installation online. As it failed, I ran it in the console to get logs. I ran the the command your recommended. And now my admin password is no more recognize through the web interface, so that I can’t check or test anything. How can I reset it ?

#11

Just touch /etc/yunohost/installed

then yunohost tools adminpw should do the trick

#12

Excellent, It did the trick.

So now, I am stuck back to my nextcloud upgrade initial problem. I installed some missing php libs and my nextcloud is back. But now I get this when I try the upgrade: https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/boseyiyeye

#13 
Source path '/etc/logrotate.d/nextcloud' does not exist

Hmpf it just sounds like some random file disappeared on your system or something …

Naively you can try to

touch /etc/logrotate.d/nextcloud

and maybe that’ll fix it but it’s more and more “wtf is going on”

PLEASE share the log of the initial upgrade attempt so we may have a chance to understand what happened:

#14

Same result.
Here is the Tools > Logs corresponding to the nextcloud upgrade: https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/abahejejey

#15

… By initial upgrade i meant the upgrade you tried on January 18th …

#16

Well, the oldest log from the interface is aged of 17 hours …

#17

Then let’s run yunohost log list to find more

then once you have the proper 'name' for it, run yunohost log display <the_log_name> --share

#18

This is what I get. I am not sure it is really helpfull unfortunately
https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/uzokigiham

#19

Actually it is very much. There was a bug in the upgrade script and we were able to understand and fix it thanks to this … (well that doesn’t really help fixing all the weird stuff that happened on your server but at least that may prevent the upgrade failing for the same reason for other people)

I have other question regarding the mysterious removal of yunohost-admin … Can you share the output of

grep -C5 -nr "yunohost" /var/log/apt/
#20

Excellent. Happy if it has helped !
What should I do then ? Try to upgrade again ?

And here is the result of the grep:
