Update: I failed to note which database it's using. It's SQLite.

Really not sure what could be causing this, but seems like something in the underlying dependencies on the machine. Here's a comment that might be helpful -- is your VPS using a glibc substitute? Or what version of glibc is it using?

Really not sure what could be causing this, but seems like something in the underlying dependencies on the machine. Here's a comment that might be helpful -- is your VPS using a glibc substitute? Or what version of glibc is it using?

Nope, it's a fairly standard Arch install, with glibc 2.37-2. I don't think that comment is the same issue; in my case the segfault isn't intermittent, it happens immediately every single time I use writefreely serve but config start and keys generate work fine. Also, it happens on two different VPS providers, in both cases the VPSes had 1G of RAM.

My desktop is also running Arch with glibc 2.37-2 and everything works fine there; no problems with serve and everything seems to work as expected.

thebaer · 2023-04-26T21:24:07Z

It should be fine with that much RAM. This looks like the salient part to me:

Could you try running writefreely with this environment variable set: GODEBUG=netdns=go, as mentioned in this comment?

joatca · 2023-04-26T23:51:21Z

Ah, that did it. Doing that gives this:

ERROR: 2023/04/26 23:36:37 app.go:511: Unable to start: listen tcp: lookup localhost on 1.1.1.1:53: no such host

That led me to find that /etc/hosts was empty. Adding the same lines as my desktop:

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost

...allows writefreely to start with GODEBUG=netdns=go but it still segfaults without it. I replaced all instances of localhost in config.ini with 127.0.0.1 and it now starts cleanly.

xxxserxxx · 2023-04-27T15:52:29Z

I don't want to start a "me too" precedent, but... me too. Exact same issue, same solution. To help any decisions about long-term resolution, I'll add:

running behind a reverse proxy, so I ran through the config with the external hostname as the "public" URL, but in reverse-proxy mode
in my case, this was on a VPS (running Arch); I don't know what my provider is running these VMs as, but I believe -- from experience -- they're VMs and not containers. Networking and disk look entirely as if it's running on metal, as opposed to the oddities you sometimes see in containers.
nothing on these machines are more than a few days behind the rolling updates of Arch
the binary was from the 0.13.2 CI release asset
The config generator writes "localhost," which the binary is then unable to resolve. Changing to 127.0.0.1 in the config lets it work (as does changing the DNS resolver).

thebaer · 2023-04-27T17:15:32Z

Thanks for confirming @joatca and @xxxserxxx. To solve this particular error, we can release future binaries that use Go DNS resolution instead of libc, so admins get these useful error messages (following gitea's lead here). Just need to update the Makefile for that. Otherwise agreed we might want to change the default bind address in the config generator.

If either of you want to submit a PR for those, please feel free! Otherwise will get to it when I can.

joatca · 2023-04-28T01:08:42Z

A note that replacing localhost with 127.0.0.1 isn't sufficient. It allows WF to start cleanly but attempting to follow the blog from Mastodon causes it to lookup URLs and it segfaults again. I needed Environment="GODEBUG=netdns=go" in my systemd unit.

xxxserxxx · 2023-04-28T12:47:12Z

@joatca while I ended up binding to a different interface (VPN), the lookups are/were only causing segfaults looking up localhost with the built-in DNS. Did you change the app.host setting?

joatca · 2023-04-28T12:53:28Z

@joatca while I ended up binding to a different interface (VPN), the lookups are/were only causing segfaults looking up localhost with the built-in DNS. Did you change the app.host setting?

Yes, I changed it to the public URL, as served by my reverse proxy. The docs say Full hostname (including scheme) users will see - is that the correct thing to do?

xxxserxxx · 2023-04-28T13:21:56Z

Caveat: I'm not one of the devs, so all I can say is how mine is set up.

In my config, server.bind and database.host are both set to my VPN IP. The database.host is irrelevant, because I'm using sqlite. My app.site_name is the external FQDN resolving to the reverse proxy. my app.host is the URI of the blog; basically, https://FQDN. This configuration works for me without the Go netdns setting.

This builds with the `netgo` tag, ensuring WF binaries use Go DNS resolution instead of libc, preventing unhelpful errors when the application can't resolve addresses. Closes #675

RapidRotator · 2023-05-26T06:37:54Z

Not sure if this is related, but I get a different segfault:

This is a new installation in a docker container where I successfully completed the other steps for configuration and key generation. The suggested debug statement above did not reveal anything, but it seems to complain about templates. Is there a default of example template available that I can use?

thebaer · 2023-05-26T06:42:50Z

@RapidRotator That seems to be a different issue, caused by an uncaught error at templates.go:149. Could you open a separate issue for that?

RapidRotator · 2023-05-26T06:43:54Z
