Flyctl Doctor reports errors consistently

1

I only used flyctl doctor for the first time today while debugging secret setting issues that turned out to be related to the maintenance/downtime from today, so I’m unable to report if this ever worked.

Here’s what I currently see:

Agent         	couldn't ping agent: dial unix /Users/robcole/.fly/fly-agent.sock: connect: no such file or directory
Docker (local)	PASS
Probe (app)   	failed establishing agent connection: agent: failed to start
Token         	PASS
Unix socket   	PASS

When I checked the directory, everything seemed ok:

➜  .fly ls -al
total 16
drwx------   6 robcole  staff   192 Feb  7 14:56 .
drwxr-xr-x+ 99 robcole  staff  3168 Feb  7 14:57 ..
drwx------   3 robcole  staff    96 Feb  7 14:56 agent-logs
-rw-------   1 robcole  staff   545 Feb  7 14:56 config.yml
srwxr-xr-x   1 robcole  staff     0 Feb  7 14:56 fly-agent.sock
-rw-------   1 robcole  staff   277 Feb  7 14:56 state.yml

I removed the ~/.ssh directory and re-auth’d to fly and re-auth’d, but everything was still in the same state. Flyctl is installed via homebrew, latest version for me, and I had the story with brew uninstall for flyctl and reinstall.

Do you see an error with flyctl agent run?

➜  recollection git:(add-link-indexing) flyctl agent run

Error another instance of the agent is already running


It looks like another instance of the agent is already running. Please stop it before starting a new one.

Trying to stop the existing agent:

➜  recollection git:(add-link-indexing) flyctl agent stop
Error failed dialing agent: dial unix /Users/robcole/.fly/fly-agent.sock: connect: no such file or directory

If you run ps aux | grep "flyctl agent" do you see an entry like this?

kurt             63861   0.0  0.1 409705664  22352 s004  S     3:36PM   0:24.44 fly agent run /Users/kurt/.fly/agent-logs/1703893049.log

You can kill -9 <pid> to stop it manually.
