Ubuntu Server Edition FAQ page

Its ease of use, ability to customise and capacity to run on a wide range of hardware makes Ubuntu the most popular server choice of the cloud age. This FAQs page provides answers to technical questions.

Newest docker update wrecked my sytem for an hour (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hi folks!

System

I‘m running ubuntu 22.04.2 on an old terra miniserver g2 with a xeon 4 core without mt, 16 gb ram and a redneck engineered usb-stick/ssd/hdd config which was supposed to be temporary. I have a 3-2-1 Backup solution though.

What happened

Today I opened my grafana panel and found it not working. Portainer told me that my influxdb container is down. So I ssh‘d in and the system told me it needed a restart. So I ran an update (including docker) and restarted. Nothing worked. Turns out, my dns (pihole) was offline. I found that docker was down completely. Grep syslog told me that docker couldn’t start since the docker config was defective.

An old mistake coming to haunt me

Turns out I had made a „weird“ docker config, using the /erc/docker/daemon.json. Instead of { „asset“:“value“, „asset“:“value“} I had done {„asset“:“value“}{„asset“:“value“}.

This led to the error but didn’t bother me for over a year and worked well. Something in this new update must have enforced the syntax or soenthing.

TL;DR

I made a janky docker daemon.json conf and got fucked by the update today. If your docker stops working, check the logs/daemon.json
