emby 4.8.3.0 just halts w/o starting web UI

[dance4ever 11]

hi!   I have 4.8.3.0 installed using docker on Ubuntu Server 22.04.4 LTS.

How do I troubleshoot an install that was previously working and decided to stop working?  What I’ve confirmed is if I rename the root emby folder and force the server to recreate all its directories, the web interface comes up.   If I put the old emby root directory back in place, the web server never starts.  Here is the log file:

and that’s it - it just halts after 6-7 seconds.

Is there a way we can get the log file to be more verbose to see where it’s halting?

Reminder: I can’t get into the web interface so we need to do this all on the command line.  And another reminder: it doesn’t halt if I recreate the Emby root directories so it has something to do with my old library/config files (which currently is 100% stock, no extra plug-ins)

Hi, please try removing all .dll files from /config/plugins and see if that helps.

[dance4ever 11]

nuked all the DLL’s, recreated the container and the DLLs get regenerated but the log file still stops at the same place.

EDIT: I should note the process is still running if we can inspect it somehow:

It looks like you changed your port from the default. The server is running but you might be trying to connect to the wrong port?

yes, this was done intentionally.  to make sure this wasn’t the issue, I created a container with the default 8096 and it still has the same issue but thanks for noticing.

The container comes up on port 8097 just fine if I nuke all the config directories.

Edited April 20 by dance4ever

[Q-Droid 653]

But if you nuke the config directories it will start on the default 8096, not 8097. The server is running and listening on 8097 with your config. Now, if your docker compose/run is mapping 8096:8097 or 8097:8097 then you should be able to connect. But if mapping 8096:8096 or 8097:8096 it will only work when the default port values are in use, when it's nuked.

Docker compose/run can set the port values for the host side but not for Emby inside the container. Only the Emby settings do that.

[Q-Droid 653]

Another thing - when the server has nothing to do, like after a restart without media changes or user activity, that place in your log is pretty much where it stops until there is activity.

that’s correct - that’s exactly what I’ve done and what I love about Docker - keeps Emby happy with defaults and keeps user happy changing ports at will

thanks for confirming that - that’s what I suspected to - that’s why I’m wondering if there is debug output as the web server seemingly doesn’t start/serve.

In an attempt to kill two birds with one stone, I started another emby container to see if it will initialize the library with all the exported resume time and favorites metadata in all the .nfo files.  Didn’t have any luck.  To keep this thread focused, I will start a new thread in regards to this issue.

I feel it probably is more straight forward to figure out why the server is blocked serving a web page after initial startup.

[Q-Droid 653]

You can do a few things to check. This is to see if it's actually listening but not the why if it isn't.

From the Emby host you can run netstat -lnp to verify the container is listening on the host (external) port. Look for the host side port you mapped.

Run wget http://`hostname`:<port> from the host command line.

Go into the container and do the same.

docker exec -it  <your emby container> /bin/sh

netstat -lnp to verify the container (internal) port.

wget http://`hostname`:<port>/web/index.html

You can enable debug logging from the config files. Change this value to true:

<config path>/config/system.xml:  <EnableDebugLevelLogging>true</EnableDebugLevelLogging>

And remove this line if it's there:

<config path>/config/system.xml:  <RevertDebugLogging>rotate</RevertDebugLogging>

Then restart the container.

[dance4ever 11]

Thank you for providing some more detailed troubleshooting steps!

it sounds like we need a full on debugger so we can attach to the process and see what it is is waiting for and inspect variables to see if the web server is indeed up - perhaps the code is in the state where it believes the web server is up and it is not.

a reminder I am on the latest release: v4.8.4

I appreciate all your help in getting my server back up and running

Edited April 20 by dance4ever

[dance4ever 11]

actually I did a grep on all the Debug statements and don’t understand what this means:

2024-04-20 23:02:04.101 Debug App: Ping test result to http://192.168.0.100:8097/system/ping. Success: False An 
error occurred while sending the request

”Success” and “False” in the same statement

EDIT: I can only assume it means that ping was “successful” executing but the result returned was a failure   it sounds like the same result as the wget statement above - but shouldn’t it be http://172.24.0.2:8096 inside the container?

Edited April 20 by dance4ever

[dance4ever 11]

ok I removed from `system.xml`

  <LocalNetworkAddresses>
    <string>192.168.0.100</string>
  </LocalNetworkAddresses>

and now we get:

2024-04-20 23:18:23.446 Debug App: Ping test result to http://172.30.0.2:8097/system/ping. Success: True

new internal IP as the container was restarted.   Does this mean the web server is up?  is system/ping a page on Emby’s web server?

I guess this is progress but the wget statement still fails:

$ wget http://192.168.0.100:8097
--2024-04-20 16:21:50--  http://192.168.0.100:8097/

What container image are you using? The official Emby container has netstat (not nestat) and wget.

The possible confusion with hostname and IP addresses inside and outside of the container is also why I suggested you use the commands I gave.

wget http://`hostname`:<port>/web/index.html

The `hostname` portion, with backticks (`) will return the name of the host and resolve to IP correctly. Whether in the shell on the OS or a shell inside the container.

Adding my update here in case my edit is missed.

wget http://`hostname`:<port>/web/index.html

The `hostname` portion, with backticks (`) will return the name of the host and resolve to IP correctly. Whether in the shell on the OS or a shell inside the container for the virtual host and IP.

A small adjustment to the wget command for better repeatability.

wget http://`hostname`:<port>/web/index.html -O -

[dance4ever 11]

WE HAVE LIFTOFF!

Thank you for all your help troubleshooting - by isolating that the web server is alive in the container, I discovered because I was migrating this instance from macOS (not using docker) to Ubuntu Server (using docker and mapping in the compose file) - I needed to take out the mapping in the configuration.

  <PublicPort>8097</PublicPort>
  <PublicHttpsPort>8921</PublicHttpsPort>
  <HttpServerPortNumber>8097</HttpServerPortNumber>
  <HttpsPortNumber>8921</HttpsPortNumber>

This explains why when you nuke the directories, the container comes up just fine because the server falls back to 8096.

This was one of the pain points I had administrating on macOS and I’m soooo happy that docker files take care of the remapping and you no longer need to do the dance to get the stars aligned.

Consider this case closed and you’re the champ!

@Q-Droidcan I change this to the solution?  I’m realizing you were right all along.  Now that I have a better understanding of how Docker networking works, I failed to understand you were referring to the internal port Emby is serving on vs the intended public port outside the container - my mistake.

what caused the issue is the docker file expecting to map the default port internally (8096) to a custom public port (8097) (in my case, to allow multiple emby servers to serve different libraries).  thanks again for showing me how to isolate this w netstat and wget.
