Self-hosted 3.0.0 fails to connect to mongo, demo runs fine

Kris · July 23, 2021, 9:25pm

We’re spinning up a feature bump for a customer’s setup and completely stuck trying to get any recent version of Mender running.

We have a test 2.2.1 server that still runs, but minio complains that the version of Mender is too old.

If I clone and follow the demo instructions for 3.0.0, the demo and all docker containers run without issue.

But following the instructions for self-hosted, verbatim, ends up with a handful of containers complaining they cannot reach mongodb, with mongo itself showing no errors. When in this state, I’m not able to log in with the created user. However, it appears the user create command from commandline is failing. See below for some logs which I assume are relevant. If there is any other detail I can provide, let me know.

OS info:

Linux mender 4.15.0-151-generic #157-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 9 23:07:57 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

If there is any info that is missing or additional details needed, let me know, I’d be happy to provide.

Kris · July 23, 2021, 10:36pm

I’ve also tried downgrading to 2.7, following the 2.7 installation instructions verbatim, from a fresh clone of the repo, and the same failures seem to occur.

tranchitella · July 24, 2021, 3:35am

@Kris from the error I see the different microservices cannot resolve the mongo aliases (e.g. mongo-useradm, mongo-deployments). These aliases are defined in docker-compose.yml:

github.com

mendersoftware/integration/blob/master/docker-compose.yml#L172

    
      
                  extends:
                      file: common.yml
                      service: mender-base
                  networks:
                      mender:
                          aliases:
                              - mongo-tenantadm
                              - mongo-deployments
                              - mongo-device-auth
                              - mongo-inventory
                              - mongo-useradm
                              - mongo-workflows
          
          
networks:
              mender:

Can you please check those alias are there in your configuration, and you can successfully resolve them from the containers running in your docker composition?

Kris · July 26, 2021, 4:44pm

Thanks for the feedback.

docker-compose.yml is unmodified and indeed has all of those aliases defined.

I’m not sure if the best way to go about testing resolution from within containers, so if the following is not sufficient, let me know what a better way is:

kris@mender:~/mender-server/production$ docker exec -it menderproduction_mender-gui_1 sh

ping: bad address 'mongo-deployments'

It would appear none of the mongo aliases are resolvable. Any clues as to where to look at next?

tranchitella · July 28, 2021, 7:32am

@Kris this is definitely strange, as you pointed out none of the aliases is working. I suppose something is wrong in the networking setup of your Docker daemon. To fix it, from Mender’s PoV, you can override the configuration settings for each of the services.

For example, for deployments:

github.com

mendersoftware/deployments/blob/master/config.yaml#L30

    
      
          # Overwrite with environment variables:
          # - DEPLOYMENTS_HTTPS_CERTIFICATE
          # - DEPLOYMENTS_HTTPS_KEY
          
          
# https:
          #     certificate: /path/to/certificate
          #     key: /path/to/private_key
          
          
# Mongodb connection string
          # Defaults to: "mongodb://mongo-deployments:27017"
          # Overwrite with environment variable: DEPLOYMENTS_MONGO_URL
          
          
mongo-url: "mongodb://mongo-deployments:27017"
          
          
# Enable SSL for mongo connections
          # Defaults to: false
          # Overwrite with environment variable: DEPLOYMENTS_MONGO_SSL
          
          
# mongo_ssl: false
          
          
# SkipVerify controls whether a mongo client verifies the

As you can see, you can set the DEPLOYMENTS_MONGO_URL env for deployments to use mender-mongo instead of mongo-deployments. The same configuration must be done for the other services.

Kris · July 28, 2021, 5:43pm

Setting that env var before starting services seems to have no effect:

kris@mender:~/mender-server/production$ export
declare -x DEPLOYMENTS_MONGO_URL="mongodb://mender-mongo:27017"
...

kris@mender:~/mender-server/production$ ./run up -d

kris@mender:~/mender-server/production$ ./run logs mender-deployments

...

Any thoughts on the root cause of this? Like I said, this is standard Ubuntu. I suppose I could try spinning it up again from scratch, but this VM is otherwise a base install of 18.04 that was only used for an older 2.2 Mender server test that I’m unable to continue to use due to minio not liking Mender being so old.

tranchitella · July 28, 2021, 7:30pm

@kris the env variable must be set in the docker-compose.yaml file, not in the shell.
As an example:

github.com

mendersoftware/integration/blob/master/docker-compose.yml#L75

    
      
                  - mender-device-auth
                  - mender-gui
                  - mender-useradm
                  - mender-inventory
          
          
#
          # mender-device-auth
          #
          mender-device-auth:
              image: mendersoftware/deviceauth:mender-master
              environment:
                  DEVICEAUTH_ORCHESTRATOR_ADDR: http://mender-workflows-server:8080/
              extends:
                  file: common.yml
                  service: mender-base
              networks:
                  - mender
              depends_on:
                  - mender-mongo
                  - mender-workflows-server

You need to set the deployments environment in the corresponding section:

github.com

mendersoftware/integration/blob/master/docker-compose.yml#L7

    
      
          version: '2.1'
          services:
          
          
    #
              # mender-deployments
              #
              mender-deployments:
                  image: mendersoftware/deployments:mender-master
                  extends:
                      file: common.yml
                      service: mender-base
                  networks:
                      - mender
                  depends_on:
                      - mender-mongo
          
          
    #

I am unable to enter mender-mongo in any meaningful way, it remains in the “Restarting” state for so long:

So, I blasted away all of /var/lib/docker/volumes/ re-installed all of the docker components, re-ran the pulls and setup, and, everything is happy now. It looks like mongo was trying to use the old database despite being a different container, tags, etc. So that was a bit of a pain.

Thanks for your suggestions! Hope this helps someone else coming from an older install.
