Services¶

Overview¶

The Services view can be used to monitor the status and manage the configuration of services used by apps. Services are managed entirely by Cloudron. When apps are deployed, Cloudron provisions and configures services internally.

You don't have to worry about keeping the services updated - it's part of the Cloudron platform.

Configure¶

To configure a service, use the Configure button:

This will open up a dialog with various settings depending on the service:

Logs¶

To view the logs of a services, click the Logs button:

Up to 10MB of logs is retained per service along side 1 rotated log. Logs older than 14 days are removed. The raw logs are located under /home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/<servicename>.

Troubleshooting¶

If a service is not running, the first step is to restart it and/or to try increasing the memory limit.

Check the service logs for hints of why it's not starting up.

Corrupt Addon¶

The instructions here apply to the following database addons:

Database	Container name	Logs	Data Directory
MySQL	mysql	/home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/mysql/app.log	/home/yellowtent/platformdata/mysql
PostgreSQL	postgresql	/home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/postgresql/app.log	/home/yellowtent/platformdata/postgresql
MongoDB	mongodb	/home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/mongodb/app.log	/home/yellowtent/platformdata/mongodb
Redis	redis-	/home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/redis-/app.log	/home/yellowtent/platformdata/redis/

In case of disk corruption, it's best to just start afresh and restore the data from backups.

To restore a specific database:

docker stop <containername>
mv /home/yellowtent/platformdata/<database> /home/yellowtent/platformdata/<database>-copy # stash the database data directory. see table above
mkdir /home/yellowtent/platformdata/<database> # create a fresh database directory
docker restart <containername> # start the addon. this will re-initialize the addon with no data

Now, restore each app that uses the addon in the Cloudron dashboard.
