I’m using NethServer on ARM32 platforms.
I have problems with Evebox as below:
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x0 pc=0x1d7f0]
It seems caused by the bug in Go libraries for ARM32.
My hardware is an armv7l platform.
[root@fw ~]# cat /etc/system-release
CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003 (AltArch)
[root@fw ~]# rpm -qa | grep evebox
evebox-0.11.1-1.ns7.armv7hl
nethserver-evebox-1.2.2-1.ns7.noarch
Maybe you could try a binary from the project repo (https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/wiki/EveBox-RPM-Repository), or eventually, fill an issue there: https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues
Hi @mmspide,
Will try to reproduce this shortly. Odd thing is evebox, like most go programs, is staticaly linked. I other words it should not look for GO (runtime) lib’s as seems to happen.
Can you confirm this also happens if evebox is started with the systemd-unit?
You may want to edit etc/sysconfig/evebox first and set the “-v” vebose output flag first.
Also keep in mind the latest upstream versions (>0.11.1) are completely rewritten (in RUST IIRC) and not sure it is backward compatible…
Yes, I first tried to start it with systemd-unit.
[root@fw ~]# rpm -qa | grep evebox
evebox-0.11.1-1.ns7.armv7hl
nethserver-evebox-1.2.2-1.ns7.noarch
Finally I solved my problem by changing how I run evebox as bellow:
sudo -u suricata /usr/bin/evebox server -v -D /var/lib/evebox/ --datastore sqlite CONFIG="-c /etc/evebox/evebox.yaml"
Either through systemd-unit I changed my /usr/lib/systemd/system/evebox.service and now it’s working well.
[root@fw system]# cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/evebox.service
[Unit]

EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/evebox
Environment=EVEBOX_DATA_DIRECTORY=/var/lib/evebox

Glad you are sorted out, still have to try to reproduce it 
Your feedback diffidently will help once I do!
After many problems with Evebox specially with bookmarking configuration and many time crashes, it seems that my problem caused by the Evebox version related to bookmarking.
I updated my Evebox binary and it seems that my problem solved.
[root@fw system]# evebox version
EveBox Version 0.13.1 (rev 0dbcb12); armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf
I should notice that my previous solution does not make Evebox work correctly, indeed it is not solution for my problem.
