Brief description of the problem
[Unknown internal error doing a POST to /api/commands/update-check
]
Detailed step by step instructions to reproduce the problem
[I just clicked on the update now button when I finally got the OS installed and gained access to the web ui. After about 5 minutes of a spinning wheel it gave me the "Unknown internal error doing a POST to /api/commands/update-check
" message!
This sounds like the the update-check simply timed out and so the front end gave up on it. It could still be running in the background but the Web-UI assumed it was toast as it took so long. This could happen if you have just installed as there are hundreds of MB of upstream updates that are also installed whenever you do a rockstor version update. One can update all but the rockstor package (by the flashing icon to the left of the âLinuxâ, but when you update the âRockstorâ version it updates all packages including the rockstor associated packages.
Git it some time and donât reboot in the mean time. Iâd look to how busy the cpu is in the Dashboard.
And to double check whatâs happening, and to possibly answer questions of changed certificates, if that is the cause here, then run the following command as root in a local terminal, or ssh, on your Rockstor machine:
yum update
Also if your machine is particularly slow, or the system drive is not appropriate, ie not a fast device like an HDD / SSD, or a fast USB key, then this update will also take ages. See the Minimum system requirements section in our Docs.
Hope that helps and let us know how this goes. We do plan on releasing a new fully updated openSUSE based installer soon but we are just not quite there just yet.
Thank you for the quick response.
I left it on overnight and didnât notice a change.
I discovered the flashing icon to the left of âLinuxâ this morning and clicked on it.
I hit update and it didnât throw any errors at me, so I left it alone.
As far as the hardware goes, I have easily double the requirements. I made sure if that before I got set up. That was one of the reasons I went with Rockstor over FreeNAS. FreeNAS is nice, but the hardware needed is way more than I need for my use case.
Iâll see where the updates are at when I get home and try running that {yum update} if nothing has changed. Iâll Keep you posted. And thanks again. =)
Main think is to not reboot it in the middle of the update. I think this was just a Web-UI timeout while it was processing the massive number of updates now from our now old ISO install.
the:
yum update
as root user in terminal is a good idea, just because it will help to confirm the state of things. It may also ask you to confirm key changes, this is safe and just say yes (y) we have seen this before also.
Just Got home and logged into the server. Looks like everything updated just fine and current versions are running.
Now that that is out of the road, I can start getting my VPN and cloud services going. Thanks a ton for looking at this and giving me the tips.
