Getting "Internal Server Error" when I try to reach loomio Instance trough domain.

G Giuseppe Public Seen by 326

Hello everybody. I hope you can help me and I appreciate your time that you are investing in giving guys like me some help.

I tried to move my loomio server to another server - before I was running an own machine in my own home network. Now I would like to use a provided server from a web host.

So what I did is to copy my loomio-deploy folder from the old server (Ubuntu) to the new server (Debian).
I adapted the env-file with a new domain, but same SMTP Server.

The I started the docker-compose. After a while, when I call the domain, I get an "Internal Server Error".


I looked in the logs - what I noticed is a message from the nginx container: ".. upstream is currently not availabe ..". Could this be a reason? What can I do?

Hi @Giuseppe - it looks like your database is corrupt or missing. It's saying it cant find a table.

Did you run docker-compose down before copying the files?

In theory you should be able to copy the loomio-deploy folder and all it's contents to a new location and boot it up, if you shutdown the services first.

If problems persist you can dump the database:

docker exec loomio-db su - postgres -c 'pg_dump -O -Fc loomio_production -f /pgdumps/loomio_production.dump'

which writes the file to a pgdumps folder on your server

then copy that file, and restore it on the other server:

docker exec loomio-db su - pg_restore --verbose --clean --no-acl --no-owner -d loomio_production /pgdumps/loomio_production.dump

the restore command might need a little tuning, and both of these lines should be in the readme.

Thanks @Rob Guthrie for the hint and your time. I will try this.

I shut down the services before copying the folder, but I restarted it on the old server in the meanwhile - maybe this was a mistake.

I will report about the outcome

@Rob Guthrie - I tried again with a blank, minimal server. I stoped the services on the old server with "docker-compose down". Then I copied the folder to the new server and started docker with docker-compose up -d - same result: Internatl Server Error :(.

I tried to dump the database, but your command is giving me "permission denied". Do you have an idea why?

sudo docker exec loomio-db su - postgres -c 'pgdump -O -Fc loomioproduction -f /pgdumps/loomio_production.dump')

Oh wow. It works now. I think I just forgot to create the swapfile on the new server. I did everything again and not it seems to start working. 🎉

Congrats. Nice job of sticking with it!
