2021.09 - loose my config files while upgrading

[valvin1]

Hello,

I've not yet found the reason but I've lost my config files folder during upgrade. I see there was a change around the rsync command for config but don't understand why it is crashed my installation.

Unfortunately I did not backup those files.

I did config manually but now I'm having issue with another config file DBstructure. Maybe nothing directly related with docker part this time. I'll continue my investigations. EDIT: forget this second part it was a missing configuration.

That was a bug for the stable artifact :-( I accidentally included the local.config.php into the archive, so the script overwrites the existing one. You mean this PR: https://github.com/friendica/docker/pull/172 , don't you? This covers the issue, but the root cause is closed with this PR: https://github.com/friendica/docker/pull/173

I'm really sorry ..

This shouldn't happen with the latest stable docker image anymore ..

[valvin1]

no worries I have to do better backups ;)

it looks my instance is up again I might have lost some settings but I'll find them back in the future :)

I had the same issue and I edited the local.config.php file and reentered all entries in the database section. The container is now up but when I connect to the web interface to login I receive this error.

Fatal error: Uncaught Exception: Missing database structure config file static/dbstructure.config.php in /var/www/html/src/Database/DBStructure.php:306 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/html/src/Database/Database.php(87): Friendica\Database\DBStructure::definition('/vagrant', false) #1 [internal function]: Friendica\Database\Database->__construct(Object(Friendica\Core\Config\Cache), Object(Friendica\Util\Profiler), Object(Psr\Log\NullLogger)) #2 /var/www/html/vendor/level-2/dice/Dice.php(132): ReflectionMethod->invokeArgs(Object(Friendica\Database\Database), Array) #3 /var/www/html/vendor/level-2/dice/Dice.php(96): Dice\Dice->Dice\{closure}(Array, Array) #4 /var/www/html/vendor/level-2/dice/Dice.php(247): Dice\Dice->create('Friendica\\Datab...', Array, Array) #5 /var/www/html/vendor/level-2/dice/Dice.php(132): Dice\Dice->Dice\{closure}(Array, Array) #6 /var/www/html/vendor/level-2/dice/Dice.php(96): Dice\Dice->Dice\{closure}(Array, Array) #7 /var/www/html/src/DI.php(62): Dice\Dice->create('Friendica\\App') #8 /var/www/html/index.p in /var/www/html/src/Database/DBStructure.php on line 306

Is there a fix for this? I have pulled the latest image just a few minutes ago.

I had the same issue. It is the system base path which should correspond to the main folder. In our case /var/www/html Hope it'll help.

[ThRPctmylSgltwH]

Thank you. That did it and I am back in.

[nupplaphil]

Where did you set this config @valvin1. Normally the basepath shouldn't be set manually for Docker, because it uses standard directories for it

[ThRPctmylSgltwH]

I set it in local.config.php and no restart was even required. It just worked. The original value was 'basepath' => 'vagrant', and I changed it to 'basepath' => '/var/www/html',

[nupplaphil]

örks .. that's a leftover from the local.config.php issue, it's the basepath of my local dev-environment -.-*

Next issue also related is I cannot start daemon.php. When logged into the container as root, error is

root@friendica:/var/www/html# php bin/daemon.php start Starting worker daemon. Child process started with pid 71. sh: 1: /usr/bin/php: not found root@friendica:/var/www/html#

The error keeps repeating and the queue does not empty in the Admin webpage. Is this also a simple solution related to the local.config.php file?

[nupplaphil]

yep ..

plz set config.php_path to php, like:

root@ex52 /opt/docker/friendica # docker-compose exec --user=www-data app php bin/console.php config config php_path php
config.php_path <= php

[ThRPctmylSgltwH]

That fixed it for now. I will post any further errors but I am hoping to not have any. Have a nice evening.

[nupplaphil]

I hope so too :-/ thanks for your patience

[nupplaphil]

closed since no further errors I guess :-)

[valvin1]

yes sorry I forgot to give news on my side. but i'm wondering if I updated the image after fixing errors. I'll try and let you know.

[ThRPctmylSgltwH]

I have not seen any further errors. I am fine with the closing of this topic.
