Failed to bootstrap: Failure with receiving network data

Installation

Edit: The error changed, see 2nd post.

I tried rebuilding my app today.

** FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP ** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one

Error is here:

INFO -- : > cd /var/www/discourse && git pull
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/discourse/discourse.git/': GnuTLS recv error (-54): Error in the pull function.

The bigger picture:
This morning there was an issue with the Encryption of the site. Chrome reported: NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID
That’s why I tried a rebuild. At the first attempt I had an Failed To Bootstrap-Error related to the acme.sh-Script

discourse Pups::ExecError: cd /root/acme.sh && LE_WORKING_DIR="${LETSENCRYPT_DIR}" ./acme.sh --upgrade --auto-upgrade failed with return #<Process::Status: pid 18927 exit 1>

I tried to this Debugging guide from Set up HTTPS support with Let's Encrypt

I got no error there.

Any ideas?

Ok, I tried another rebuild and now it’s again the acme.sh-Error:

FAILED

That sounds like network problems.

4

sure :slight_smile:

I’m running my app on a Linode server. I followed the 30 min docker setup and currently have no idea where to dive in tackling network problems. Do you have some keywords where to start?

5

I recommend using Ubuntu as the server distro image, it’s easier.

6

I use an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS x64 image, kernel 4.9.15

7

Not really. Linode should work. It could be some temporary DNS problem.

You can see if you can do this from the command line:

git clone https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh.git

If it fails, then you know that’s the problem, and if it does, there’s not much you can do but whine to Linode and/or github.

Allright, thanks for your answer.

The manual git clone command works fine. The failure comes from different git pull commands during ./launcher rebuild app.

I opened a linode-Ticket.

9

Do you have any non official plug-ins installed?

10

yes, there’s one.
but last trial of ./launcher rebuild app it failed already during

cd /var/www/discourse && git pull
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/discourse/discourse.git/': GnuTLS recv error (-54): Error in the pull function.

Is there anything plugin-related happening before that?
Anyway: I’ll try rebuilding without that plugin.

Sounds like you have a connectivity issue inside the docker instance (yeah I know obvious)…

In CURL the error “56” is:

CURLE_RECV_ERROR (56)
Failure with receiving network data.

It also looks like this relates to TLS / certificates - this can also be to do with several things:

  • Incorrect time / clock on your machine
  • Certificate installation issues
  • Check for OS updates (these might include certificates)
  • Check for docker updates
  • Actual connectivity issues

To get more information I would probably check the above things…

… and then if still at a loss modify the templates/web.template.yml temporarily on that specific git pull line from:

        - git remote set-branches --add origin master
        - git pull
        - git fetch origin $version

To:

        - git remote set-branches --add origin master
        - GIT_TRACE=1; GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 git pull --verbose
        - git fetch origin $version

Well, something like that should help get more detailed error information.

Thank you very much for that detailed answer.

I was facing two issues, that had nothing to do with each other:

  1. One of the network service providers of the Linode Datacenter was having trouble this morning, that was the problem with the rebuilding and the git pull commands.
  2. I administrate the app for a non-profit organisation. They commissioned a domain transfer a week ago. I didn’t know, that the transfer was happening this morning, but it did :slight_smile:
    And due to that, there was a certificate of the new domain name registrar which got into the way. It’s still not solved, because I don’t have the login information for the domain-configuration yet, but I’m pretty sure it has nothing to do with discourse.

Thank you all very much. I like this viral community on meta.discourse.org a lot :heart_eyes:
