Mailcow-dockerized: container not working after restart

[alyzrazor]

Hey guys, I've been testing dockrized mailcow with no issues lately, but after this sunday or so, I can no longer restart with docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d or rebooting because it won't come back, mailcow website is gone.

I tested with a fresh install using ubuntu 16.04 LTS then if I restart services or reboot the server its gone. You can't access mailcow panel, even if I do "docker-compose restart nginx-mailcow"

I tried a few times.

Can anyone tell me what to do or how to fix it without starting from scratch? thanks.

I think, I had the same problem on this weekend.
Look, if the nginx container is running.
docker ps | grep ngnix
On my system it was restarting and restarting again.

Change in your mailcow-dockerized directory and type this to view the log form the nginx container
docker-compose logs --tail="100" nginx-mailcow

In my case, the files cert.pem and key.pem were the problem.

Can you please check docker-compose ps (run from within the mailcow-dockerized folder) and post the output?

[alyzrazor]

Sure this is what I get:

Can you check docker-compose logs --tail=100 nginx-mailcow? Or just use ./update.sh :)

[andryyy]

Do you use your own certificates and forgot to copy the key?

You can fix it by deleting everything in data/assets/ssl and run cp data/assets/ssl-example/* data/assets/ssl.

[jpbaril]

I also had this problem. I had to delete "data/assets/ssl" on host and restart containers.

[alyzrazor]

No, I didn't do anything, just started a new server, installed mailcow for reference then restarted that's all I did.

hopefully this works for you so you can apply a fix.

[alyzrazor]

Another thing to consider:

After deleting files in: data/assets/ssl it worked
then run cp data/assets/ssl-example/* data/assets/ssl

So I restarted container to make sure and... The same problem returned.

Perhaps I repeated the same process but in this test I didn't run "cp data/assets/ssl-example/* data/assets/ssl"

after restarting container again the same happend again website down.

Do you use reverse proxy?
If you did, but only for https, not for http, then you got this error.
The acme client ist looking for a temporary file to verify the domain and create a new ssl certificate at the url http://domain.tld/.well-known/acme-challenge/
When you not reverse proxy the http connection to the nginx container, the verification failes.

[andryyy]

I am looking to fix this bug. Can you give me access via SSH or TeamViewer? I saw it sometimes today but could not reproduce. Please mail me to [email protected]

[andryyy]

And: What's in the acme logs? => docker-compose logs --tail=200 acme-mailcow - that info would help me, too! :)

[andryyy]

And please run ./update.sh now again.

[alyzrazor]

Thanks for answering, sry my job is a bitch I was using a VPS server and Deleted that server until an official fix, hopefully I will try it again today and the whole weekend :) this is very good solution nicely done, I really appreciate your work.
