Problem/Motivation

All of a sudden I am receiving this error.

[services.d] starting services
[services.d] done.
nginx: [warn] "ssl_stapling" ignored, issuer certificate not found for certificate "/ssl/hass.jjpeet.com.crt.pem"
    INFO: hello! this is motionEye server 0.39.3
CRITICAL: config directory "/config" does not exist or is not writable
    INFO: hello! this is motionEye server 0.39.3

Expected behavior

(What you expected to happen)

Actual behavior

MotionEye isn't running (no web interface is responding)

Steps to reproduce

This error just started happening.

Proposed changes

Can some more doco be provided that explains how I can fix this issue? I'm looking at my Pi's SSD and can't see the folder where the config should be. I do daily backups so could easily restore the plugin, but this doesn't seem to make any difference either. If info could be provided that explains where the config files live on the file system I can then verify that this folder is in fact writable.

:wave: Thanks for opening your first issue here! If you're reporting a :bug: bug, please make sure you include steps to reproduce it. Also, logs, error messages and information about your hardware might be usefull.

frenck commented 5 years ago

Well, it is correct that the folder isn't writable? Unsure what this causes, I am currently unable to reproduce this issue. Do you have more information for me?

Like complete logs, version information, hardware information, specific settings? Anything that can help me reproduce this issue, would be awesome.

jjpeet commented 5 years ago

Hi Frenk, I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin to get it going again. If it happens again I’ll try and grab more logs. Thx, JP

e1miran commented 5 years ago

I have the same issue that has persisted for months, but with a different directory - "/var/lib/motioneye". This only happens on restart of the add-on (like when I restart the host server). Same as @jjpeet, uninstalling and re-installing of the add-on is the only remedy. Then I restore the camera config from a backup.

Bodge-IT commented 5 years ago

I have the same issue. Comes from the motioneye.conf config for media_path. I suspect this isn't transferred through to the container. Could it be exposed as a param so pointing to alt storage is possible?

rvsanten commented 5 years ago

I have the same issue when restarting the docker container, does not happen all the time

gleepwurp commented 5 years ago

Hmm, same issue here... If I inspect the motioneye docker container, it does bind the internal /config as "ro" (read-only):

        {
            "Type": "bind",
            "Source": "/usr/share/hassio/homeassistant",
            "Destination": "/config",
            "Mode": "ro",
            "RW": false,
            "Propagation": "rprivate"
        },

Trying to see if changing that might resolve the issue.

Y.

frenck commented 5 years ago

@gleepwurp Are you writing to /config somewhere from your camera configurations?

The add-on itself does not write to /config (did check again and could not find any references). So, it must be induced by something else?

gleepwurp commented 5 years ago

I dunno, I'll have to dig a bit.

Motioneye worked fine until the initial camera configuration inside. Following a reboot, motioneye fails with these "/config does not exist or is not writable" error message constantly.

example: CRITICAL: config directory "/config" does not exist or is not writable INFO: hello! this is motionEye server 0.39.3 CRITICAL: config directory "/config" does not exist or is not writable INFO: hello! this is motionEye server 0.39.3 CRITICAL: config directory "/config" does not exist or is not writable

I'll have more time to dig this weekend. Will report back if I find anything.

Y.

Bodge-IT commented 5 years ago

Hi @frenck is there a common way to override your addons to utilise less ephemeral storage for configs?

frenck commented 5 years ago

It is stored in the add-on data folder, which persists and is the correct location for this type of data. Could you define less ephemeral?

addons-assistant[bot] commented 5 years ago

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

Bodge-IT commented 5 years ago

Hi @frenck at the time I was referring to the fact that all the config is wiped out when the addon is uninstalled. I may have missed it but don't remember seeing a warning that all the data would be wiped out on an uninstall too.

frenck commented 5 years ago

This is true for all add-ons and not a limitation of this add-on in particular. If you don't like how that works, I would suggest on opening an issue with Hass.io.
