Containers are not Pulling

[TheStealth359]

I have been using Fermentrack on an older i386 laptop running Raspbian Bister. I had originally installed the docker version back when it was on its own branch. A few days ago I finally caved to the GUI notification to update via git. The update was successful, but then I got a message that I needed to upgrade fermentrack-tools following the info in issue #727. This initially failed because I still had the docker branch checked out. I switched branches to master and things seem to have progressed better. However, now I'm faced with the following error pulling the containers and the script seems to just hang here:

curl -L install.fermentrack.com | bash

I have tried the following to resolve the issue:

• Delete the fermentrack-tools folder and reinstall using the automated curl script
• Delete the fermentrack-tools folder and reinstall manually using the installl.sh script
• Deleted all docker containers and images
• Tried as a regular user and as root

I always get the same problems with the postgres, redis, and nginx containers and fermentrack fails to install. Is there something that I am missing?
Thanks

I’ll take a look at docker hub momentarily - but what do you see if you run uname -a?

[TheStealth359]

Thanks for the quick reply. Here is the info:

Linux Beaker 4.19.0-25-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.19.289-1 (2023-07-24) i686 GNU/Linux

[thorrak]

Yeah, the i386 images should work then (though I would recommend migrating to a 64 bit build if your hardware is capable of it). I can see the images are available on Docker Hub so there shouldn’t be any issue pulling them. Can you see if you get any errors if you pull the image manually? To do so, just run docker pull jdbeeler/fermentrack

[TheStealth359]

The laptop I'm currently using is a first gen Atom CPU, so no go for 64bit. I do have a Raspberry Pi 3B that I was saving for another project that I could put 64bit Raspbian on. However, if I do this is there any way to migrate all the fermentrack data that is on the old device?

The manual pull did work

I just tried to run the install script again and it seems to progress a bit further. However the pull access denied errors are odd. I let it sit for 30+ mins and it seems stuck at Waiting for PostgreSQL to become available...

OK cool - that's a start! Let's pull the rest of the images from Docker Hub manually, then reattempt the install.sh script:

• docker image pull nginx:1.18.0-alpine
• docker image pull postgres:12.3
• docker image pull redis:6.0

Those 4 are the base images that you need to be able to build the stack for Fermentrack. Assuming you have no errors from pulling those 3 additional images, re-run install.sh and it should hopefully all work. If it doesn't, try running docker-compose build manually (after you've tried running install.sh at least once -- that downloads files that you will need for this to work) and see if you get any error messages.

One thing to note -- You mentioned deleting your fermentrack-tools directory -- did you happen to back up your envs folder? If yes, then copy those env files back to the envs folder in the fermentrack-tools directory before you run install.sh. If not, then once you finish the install things will probably still break since you deleted your Postgres username/password (you'll get an error message when you try to access the site). There may still be a way to recover, but admittedly it's not a scenario that I've encountered before, and thus it will take some time to work out how. I would start with the above in any case and see what happens - we can then go from there.

[TheStealth359]

The docker pulls told me that they were up to date, but it still gets stuck at Waiting for PostgreSQL to become available....

I did not backup the envs folder, so I guess I'm resigned to going scorched earth and loosing all my data to avoid unnecessary headaches. I guess I could just backup the docker volumes and start from scratch. Anything else I should nuke to start over?

[thorrak]

Yeah — it can’t log into Postgres is why that’s the case. You have a couple of options here:

Scorched earth: You can delete your volumes (or just the Postgres volume) and start fresh. If you run docker volume ls you should get a list of volumes. You can then run docker volume rm <volume id> which will remove a specific volume, or run docker volume prune -f to delete everything. I may be wrong about the -f option - if you get an error just run docker volume prune.

Slightly less scorched earth: Your log files (CSVs) are backed up in the fermentrack_data directory which should be somewhere like /lib/docker/data or something like that. I can get you an exact file path later. You won’t be able to view them in Fermentrack since the database entries aren’t there, but if you want the CSVs they will be available.

Try changing the Postgres passwords: There is supposedly a way that you can create a new Postgres user and change its password using docker commands. I haven’t done this, but I can try to help figure this out. Unfortunately, this may have to wait a bit as I’m currently traveling but it might be an option to recover your data.

[TheStealth359]

Well in the end I'm giving up on the laptop running Raspbian and switched over to the RPi 3B running a 64 bit OS. The installation worked perfectly. I also managed to backup my CSV files for future reference.

Thanks again for he prompt responses!
Cheers
