DokuWiki: Update failed

Support
,
1

After the last update, Dokuwiki no longer starts. Reconfiguration leads to:

Job for dokuwiki.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl --user status dokuwiki.service" and "journalctl --user -xeu dokuwiki.service" for details.

I wanted to check the satus and logs, so I tried to switch to the container.

But then I realized that the container no longer exists at all.

This is a file system permission error, what do you think @stephdl is it a bug or just a permission to adjust in Dokuwiki’s volume? Other ideas?

I cannot reproduce myself, upgrading from 1.1.4

Could you post the output of:

grep dokuwiki1 /etc/subuid
ls -lnR /home/dokuwiki1/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/dokuwiki-data/_data/data/pages/

The ns8/ and pages/ directories in your volume are rejecting the chown that DokuWiki’s entrypoint performs at startup, which is what makes the service fail. This happens when files are copied into the volume from the host (as root, or via rsync -a from a backup) instead of through the module’s namespace.

Did you import wiki content manually at some point? And was data/pages/pages/ intentional — it would map to a pages:start:nethserver8 page, which looks like a nesting mistake.

this is something workable on my server

[dokuwiki1@R1-pve state]$ ls -ln /home/dokuwiki1/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/dokuwiki-data/_data/data/pages/

root@daho-ns8:~#

Did you import wiki content manually at some point? And was data/pages/pages/ intentional — it would map to a pages:start:nethserver8 page, which looks like a nesting mistake.

Yes, during Migration from NS7 to NS8 I imported the Wiki-Content. …some years ago.

Your volume has four items owned by host root (UID 0):

data/pages/ns8
data/pages/pages
data/pages/pages/start
data/pages/pages/start/nethserver8.txt

Those are outside the module’s UID mapping, so inside the container they show up as nobody. DokuWiki’s entrypoint runs chown -R www-data:www-data /storage at every container start, and it runs with set -e — so the first Operation not permitted aborts the whole startup. That’s why the service won’t come up. It’s not caused by the upgrade itself; the upgrade just triggered the first restart since those files appeared on 15 July.

Fix, as root on the host:

bash

VOL=/home/dokuwiki1/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/dokuwiki-data/_data

# 1. list what's affected
find "$VOL" -uid 0 -ls

# 2. fix ownership
find "$VOL" -uid 0 ! -type l -exec chown 427712:427712 {} +

# 3. verify — should return nothing
find "$VOL" -uid 0 -ls

Then restart and check the log:

bash

runagent -m dokuwiki1 systemctl --user restart dokuwiki
journalctl -e _UID=$(id -u dokuwiki1)
7

I feel it is a bug here introduced by capote, it was workable until upstream changed something in the container

8

Why the entrypoint cannot change ownership? Is it owned by a wrong uid?

Edit: ok now I see it

It’s a wrong uid:gid assignment. IIUC previous releases didn’t notice this issue, but I suppose DokuWiki has no rights to write in that folder.

Hence it is correct that in newer release Dokuwiki tries to fix ownership. I’d say for this behavioral regression a wontfix is acceptable.

DokuWiki works now well. Thank you @stephdl
