radicale2: can't make it run

[wehkah]

I am trying to install radicale2 onto my fb4040, running OpenWrt 21.02.1 but it simply does not start. I am sorry for not being able to provide better error description, but there is none. I repeated the installation several times from scratch, each time removing everything related to this package. I tried manual installation, I tried installation via GUI. There is also no output to any logfile.

After configuration, I call "/etc/init.d/radicale2 start", but nothing happens at all: no running service, no error message.

How can I make the app more verbose? How can I at least produce some logfile output?

This is frustrating. Thanks in advance for any help!

[jefferyto]

What do you see when you run logread at the command line?

[wehkah]

There's a missing dependency, as I found in this thread:

https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/11062

Radicale does not start since the module urllib is missing.

After installing urllig, radicale2 is working now!

[jefferyto]

radicale2 depends on python3, and python3 already depends on python3-urllib. Not sure why it wasn't already installed on your system.

[wehkah]

Not sure why it wasn't already installed on your system.

The reason is more than obvious, just look at the other thread I quoted: the package management is missing a dependency. That has not been changed since OpenWRT 19.07, the version that the user in the other thread is talking about.

[jefferyto]

If you actually read the thread you quoted, you would see that the issue was already fixed in master (which 21.02 is based on) and fixed in 19.07 in #11078.

Edit: Let me quote it for you:

It looks like this was already fixed in master in commit 9c5a97c, however, branch 19.07 does not have python3-urllib as a dependecy. Actually the mentioned commit replaces the dependency python3-email with python3-light and python3-urllib.

[wehkah]

What about the second part of the sentence you quoted?

"...,however, branch 19.07 does not have python3-urllib as a dependecy."

I did not remove the missing package manually, it simply was not installed automatically when I installed radicale2.

The thread #11078 is about radicale, while I tried to install radicale2. Is it possible that the maintainers fixed the dependency for radicale, but forgot to fix it for radicale2 as well? Just a thought...

[jefferyto]

Is it possible that the maintainers fixed the dependency for radicale, but forgot to fix it for radicale2 as well?

No.

[wehkah]

I am sorry to bother you, but I need your help again. Today I installed the available upgrade and now radicale2 once again won't start. :(

Radicale2 is now version 2.1.12-1. Again, there is no kind of reaction when I call

/etc/init.d/radicale2 start

No error, no log file, nothing. And of course: no running radicale.

But, when I call

python3 -m radicale -C /var/etc/radicale2/config

the server works as expected. Clients and users can connect.

The package python3-urllib is installed, so this can not be the cause of failure this time.

Why does the start script cause the server to fail, while a direct command makes it work?

[wehkah]

This time logread tells me this, if I use the init-script:

Sun Jan 16 12:02:53 2022 daemon.err radicale2[7577]: Traceback (most recent call last):

These error messages do not appear when I use the command line

python3 -m radicale -C /var/etc/radicale2/config

What packages do you have installed (opkg list-installed)?

[jefferyto]

Can you try removing and reinstalling the radicale2 package?

[wehkah]

Been there, done that... That was also my first thought, and I even tried two different ways of deinstalling and reinstalling: via web GUI and via command line. But neither way does make any difference: the start script fails, while starting the service by

/usr/bin/python3 -m radicale -C /var/etc/radicale2/config &

does work. Until I will find the solution to this, I put the above command into /etc/rc.local, so the service is started when the router starts.

I took a look into /etc/init.d/radicale2 and according to my limited knowledge of scripting, I think that this script creates the config file /var/etc/radicale2/config, using the contents of /etc/config/radicale2 and then it starts the server. Correct my if I am wrong there!

But if I understood that correctly, the command line should not work either, because it uses the same config file. So I guess there's some deeper magic going on.

[jefferyto]

I have installed radicale2 on armvirt-32 (in qemu) and verified that it starts with no issue. The problem isn't the init script, something is wrong with your Python installation.

[wehkah]

I removed radicale2 and every python package that was installed. After that, I re-installed radicale2, and it automatically installed these packages:

Configuring radicale2.

After that, radicale2 still would not start using the starting script. Then I remembered reading something about starting problems when bcrypt was not installed, so I did

But still, radicale2 will only start when I use the command line.

And this is the output of logread:

Wed Jan 19 20:44:22 2022 daemon.info procd: Instance radicale2::radicale2 s in a crash loop 7 crashes, 1 seconds since last crash

These error messages do not occur, when I use the command line to start the server!

Some additional information:

Although the init script fails, it tells me that radicale2 is running:

root@fb4040:~# /etc/init.d/radicale2 status
running

That statement is not true:

root@fb4040:~# ps | grep radical
24415 root      1100 R    grep radical

Where does the init script that information? I can not find any pid file for this.

If I use the argument "trace" I get this error message:

root@fb4040:~# logread
...
Fri Jan 21 08:06:50 2022 daemon.warn procd: Seccomp support for radicale2::radicale2 not available

Followed by the same error messages as shown above ("traceback...") about the crash loop. But still, the init script insists that radicale2 is running:

root@fb4040:~# /etc/init.d/radicale2 status
running
