Bluecherry docker not running on Fedora 38

[Ben7230]

I ran the script to install the docker container and everything went just fine until it actually started the Bluecherry server container.

There is no webpage at localhost:7001 and the container keeps restarting about every minute.

These are the logs from docker log bc-server;

Update MySQL's my.cnf from environment variables passed in from docker
Writing /root/.my.cnf
Update bluecherry server's bluecherry.conf from environment variables passed in from docker
Writing /etc/bluecherry.conf
chown bluecherry:bluecherry /var/lib/bluecherry/recordings
/usr/sbin/rsyslogd
rsyslogd: pidfile '/run/rsyslogd.pid' and pid 10 already exist.
If you want to run multiple instances of rsyslog, you need to specify
different pid files for them (-i option).
rsyslogd: run failed with error -3000 (see rsyslog.h or try https://www.rsyslog.com/e/3000 to learn what that number means)

This error keeps repeating and repeating itself.

Is there a way to bypass this problem till a fix is made?

[curtishall]

Is the rsyslog process using 100% cpu? We found this problem on another Fedora install.

Not 100% for me, rsyslog process was using around 15-18% for half a minute and then it quit. but the container keeps restarting about every minute.

A few months ago I tried it before you had the install script. Then the rsyslog process would stay running at 15-18% until I stopped the container manually.

[curtishall]

Can you paste the output of: cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/containerd.service

Try this command:

  sed -i 's/^LimitNOFILE=infinity$/LimitNOFILE=1048576/'  /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service
  sed -i 's/^LimitNOFILE=infinity$/LimitNOFILE=1048576/'  /usr/lib/systemd/system/containerd.service
  systemctl start docker
  systemctl enable docker

(You may have to restart the host if this doesn't fix it...)

After=network-online.target docker.socket firewalld.service containerd.service time-set.target
Wants=network-online.target containerd.service
Requires=docker.socket

[Service]
Type=notify

the default is not to use systemd for cgroups because the delegate issues still

exists and systemd currently does not support the cgroup feature set required

for containers run by docker

ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// --containerd=/run/containerd/containerd.sock
ExecReload=/bin/kill -s HUP $MAINPID
TimeoutStartSec=0
RestartSec=2
Restart=always

Note that StartLimit* options were moved from "Service" to "Unit" in systemd 229.

Both the old, and new location are accepted by systemd 229 and up, so using the old location

to make them work for either version of systemd.

StartLimitBurst=3

Note that StartLimitInterval was renamed to StartLimitIntervalSec in systemd 230.

Both the old, and new name are accepted by systemd 230 and up, so using the old name to make

this option work for either version of systemd.

StartLimitInterval=60s

Having non-zero Limit*s causes performance problems due to accounting overhead

in the kernel. We recommend using cgroups to do container-local accounting.

LimitNOFILE=infinity
LimitNPROC=infinity
LimitCORE=infinity

Comment TasksMax if your systemd version does not support it.

Only systemd 226 and above support this option.

TasksMax=infinity

set delegate yes so that systemd does not reset the cgroups of docker containers

Delegate=yes

kill only the docker process, not all processes in the cgroup

@curtishall After running the commands above, it is now working.

Thank you.

[curtishall]

Great, thanks for the patience. I'll work on adding this fix to the Fedora part of the script next week.

[Ben7230]

Were you able to fix this issue? How do I go about updating to the latest release?

[curtishall]

These changes were introduced into the latest install script.

Which version do you have now?

docker exec bc-server dpkg -l bluecherry

[Ben7230]

docker exec bc-server dpkg -l bluecherry

[curtishall]

If you are using a Bluecherry license, deactivate the license in settings then run: docker compose pull docker compose down docker compose start That should pull in rc9 and get you migrated over.

on running the command "docker compose start" I keep getting the error

service "mta_mailer" has no container to start
or
service "bc-mysql" has no container to start
or
service "uptime-kuma" has no container to start

[curtishall]

docker compose up -d

[Ben7230]

all the dockers start ok except for the bc-server, that one keeps restarting,

this is the error that comes up in the logs.
