HBOS 64 Alpha 8: Can't install Extensions

[mrArkwright]

Describe the bug When trying to install extensions the device just hangs. There is no progress installing the extension and I can't connect to the web UI anymore.

HiFiBerryOS version HBOS 64 Alpha 8 I experienced the same behaviour with Alpha 7

HiFiBerry sound card Digi2 Pro

To Reproduce On a fresh install of HBOS 64 Alpha 8 go to "general" -> "Extension" and install any extension (e.g. Spotifyd).

Expected behavior The Extension gets installed.

Additional context The issue seems to be that docker can't pull images. When running top on the device I'm seeing a docker-compose pull that seems to hang. On further investigation even pulling any docker image doesn't work:

# docker run hello-world
Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: Get "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/": net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers).
See 'docker run --help'.

The process only returns with the error message after a longer timeout.

logs from docker daemon:

I don't use a proxy or any other redirections in my network. Every other device (including some other raspis) doesn't have problems pulling docker images.

[alexanderhaensch]

are other internet connections working fine?

[mrArkwright]

Yes, internet connection is working fine. I can even reach the very address docker is failing to connect to:

# curl -i https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
content-type: application/json
docker-distribution-api-version: registry/2.0
www-authenticate: Bearer realm="https://auth.docker.io/token",service="registry.docker.io"
date: Fri, 31 May 2024 09:35:16 GMT
content-length: 87
strict-transport-security: max-age=31536000

{"errors":[{"code":"UNAUTHORIZED","message":"authentication required","detail":null}]}

(getting back a 401 is normal behaviour for that address)

I also just verified that the problem persists regardless of whether I'm using WiFi or ethernet.

[mrArkwright]

I can even pull docker images when running docker-in-docker. Tried by copying an alpine image to the hifiberry raspi via scp (since I can't pull images):

Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
    (arm64v8)
 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
    executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
    to your terminal.

To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
 $ docker run -it ubuntu bash

Unfortunately, I can't reproduce it here. My best guess is some corrupted installation. Can you try another installation on another SD card?

[a10kiloham]

I'm having the same issue in a totally fresh new build. Is there any manual way to install this? Strangely Spotifyd installed fine but shairplay fails.

[hifiberry]

If it can't connect to the docker registry for some unknown reason, you can't install it manually :(

[a10kiloham]

I've gotten docker to connect by disabling ipv6 on my wifi adapter then manually editing the resolv.conf to actually point to some DNS servers.

[hifiberry]

Thanks, the tip about IPv6 helps. We might need to add something to disable IPv6 as it still isn't working reliably in all installations.

[a10kiloham]

Looking at my fresh install there seem to be a few other problems. My spotifyd image is crashing now as well with this:

The application panicked (crashed).
Message:  Failed to register dbus player name: D-Bus error: Connection ":1.51528" is not allowed to own the service "org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotifyd.instance15" due to security policies in the configuration file (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied)

[a10kiloham]

For the above this is fixed in a submitted PR for the spotifyd extension - do you mind versioning up and rebuilding it with that patch? https://github.com/hifiberry/extension_spotifyd/pull/5/commits/e358d2d8e08be02df5ab6e2f3fb3f984fd5d0886 Thanks

[a10kiloham]

Actually that line should go in the base unit's /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ folder. The reconfigure script would do this but I can't easily see where it's being called from once an image is prebuilt. Is there a natural place it can be called from?

[hifiberry]

reconfigure does this every time the extension is started https://github.com/hifiberry/extension_spotifyd/blob/master/reconfigure

[a10kiloham]

Weird. It wasn't performing that - what do you mean by restarted per se? In the front end it was showing the extension enabled but there wasn't a restart buttton. I realized by cloning the extension repo and then running it, I could perform that to manually fix. Same with Shairport - i tried installed via front-end but it silently failed and stayed un-checked. Then by manually cloning i was able to get it fully working w/ the right changes to the dbus.

[hifiberry]

There is no restart in the GUI. You can use /opt/hifiberry/bin/extensions for this or reboot the system
