Unable to start Ubooquity.jar in Ubuntu 18.04 after trying to set up NGINX reverse proxy

[rab] 4 years ago updated 4 years ago 10

I have been using Ubooquity for several years, but recently I have been trying to set up NGINX for reverse proxy with TLS enabled via LetsEncrypt/Certbot on the horizon.

I was following along with some of the comments here and set up my ubooquity_reverse_proxy.conf file like this:

<code>server {
listen 2204;
listen 2205;


server_name ubooquity;

location /library {
proxy_pass http://my.subdomain.here:2204;
}

location /library/admin {
proxy_pass http://my.subdomain.here:2205;
}

}</code>

I kept getting error messages in NGINX saying that ports 2204 and 2205 were already being used and would fail to start.

I tried to kill the processes that may have been listening on those ports, but by the time I got NGINX to start, it would direct me to a 500 error page for /library/admin and a 404 for /library.

When I tried running the jar via the command line it would not start. Initially I got errors saying the DB was already being used. I checked but there were no other instances of Ubooquity running. So I backed up my database and deleted that version out of my /opt/ubooquity directory.

Now when I try to run Ubooquity.jar i get a different error:

I checked and I'm running Java 8 so I can't figure out what it could be.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i don't know how to format for codeblocks in this forum, i tried using the html <code> </code> tags, but that didn't work. please ignore those if you see them above and think they are causing issues.

Try launching it with the --headless command line option.

--headless
Use it if you don’t want the Ubooquity interface to be displayed, or to avoid compatibility issues on devices with no graphical environment (e.g. NAS).

That launched Ubooquity, but now when I try to access via web gui I get 500 errors again:

I tried backing everything up in a separate folder and just starting with a fresh Ubooquity.jar from the website. Getting a different error now:

Subsequent restarts give me the "database already in use" errors.

You have to uUse different ports and paths when running several Ubooquity instances at the same time.

+1

I think Ubooquity was not exiting cleanly. After I stopped the process or it crashed itself, the ports were still showing as being in use. I was able to kill the java processes tying up the ports in question and now I can load run the program again.

how did you go about fixing this?? I've been getting that same error (the second one) for over a week. port 2202 and 2203 don't seem occupied or being used in my case

in Ubuntu I just killed the java process and then ran my start command again

sudo pkill -9 java

sudo nohup java - jar Ubooquity.jar

i was only running a single instance. Whenever I had to restart my box or if Ubooquity crashed I would get the"already in use" error message even though no instance of Ubooquity was running.


I found that if I get that error and I kill the entire java process I can get it to start cleanly again.

I'm only running a single instance of Ubooquity on ports 2204 and 2025.
