FireMotD failing (login delay) #1653

Closed mstormi closed 2 years ago

mstormi commented 2 years ago

Logging into my test box w/ a fresh image installed takes several seconds, that ain't normal. Not analyzed for now, this is a generic reminder.

Not sure if the reason could be within my local network but I don't think so in the first place. IP is obtained from DHCP with a fixed mapping MAC->IP on the DHCP server/router and the test box is always the same (ie MAC does not change).

Perhaps the cpu is just running startup tasks after the fresh install?

I have noticed this for a while now. Logging in via SSH takes 5 to 10 seconds. Switching from FireMOTD to neofetch helps somewhat but it still takes a lot longer to log in and get a shell than on other devices.

It's FireMotd when generating the login page, That should be fast once the FireMotd database is generated which happens offline daily but is not. Running FireMotD --theme Gray -v on CLI is very slow. See it's gathering the info rather than to use the cache. I could not get it to use that so far.

Reading https://www.outsideit.net/home I think it's about time to stop using FireMotD. For now I've commented it out in bash_profile for new installs.

Added our own cache, seems to work for now https://github.com/openhab/openhabian/commit/d1cce9c3f7d826e9843fa88695f0063cf6893273
