Deploying Grocy Image

Questions / Help
1

Hello!

When deploying this docker image lscr.io/linuxserver/grocy:amd64-latest. I get the following error Main child exited normally with code: 100. When I build and run the image locally everything works so I am not sure what the problem is or how to diagnose / move forward. Any help would be appreciated.
fly.toml

app = "grocy"
kill_signal = "SIGINT"
kill_timeout = 5

I’d say at least 50% of the requests on this forum are due to ipv6 not being used on the application level.

So I’d start by making sure that grocy is listening on ipv6. If that doesn’t work, you’ll need the app to stay up while you login and debug. For that you’ll need to take out the service checks, or maybe just run nginx or something so that you can do fly ssh console to be able to login and debug.

I don’t know much about docker and nginx so I’m not sure how to verify that its listening on ipv6. Is removing the checks as simple as changing the relevant config to

http_checks = []
tcp_checks=[]
script_checks=[]

I think you can remove the entire services section and have the image be deployed and not be reaped. I did do this at one point, but do not recall exactly how I fiddled with it.

Regarding ipv6, you will need to fly ssh console and lsof -ni and make sure the process is listening on the port you expect.

# lsof -ni|grep LISTEN
epmd     563 nobody    3u  IPv4   4451      0t0  TCP *:4369 (LISTEN)
epmd     563 nobody    4u  IPv6   4452      0t0  TCP *:4369 (LISTEN)

Just quickly ran the image, but i got to get off the computer. Error may be unrelated to ipv6.

After some digging around I think I know what the issue is! Thanks to your last message with the error s6-overlay-suexec: fatal: can only run as pid 1 I was able to do some digging and found that the image I’m using, uses a process manager that wants to run as pid 1 which, according to Running Multiple Processes Inside A Fly.io App · Fly Docs, isn’t possible.

How were you able to get those logs?

I’m assuming you’re referring to the line about s6 init? Mostly luck. It restarted a few times and I noticed this one extra errant line about s6 which did not print on most of the runs.

Well thanks, anyway. Without that I wouldn’t have know what the issue was.

And what is the solution to this?
I am not very experience with docker and less experience with Linux tools, but I would like to know how to successfully deploy grocy on fly.io.
