XOA won't start HTTPS listen on configured port

bill.gertz

Sorry to bother everyone but I cannot seem to get xo-server to listen on port 443 even though port 443 is configured in the config.toml. I'm using XOA 5.52.1/5.52.0 and have compiled from community sources using the well known installer script.

The listener configuration part of the config is as follows:

.
.
.
[[http.listen]]
hostname = '0.0.0.0'
port = 443
cert = '/etc/ssl/certs/xoa/xoa.crt'
key = '/etc/ssl/certs/xoa/xoa.key'

# These options are applied to all listen entries.
[http.listenOptions]
# Ciphers to use.
#
# These are the default ciphers in Node 4.2.6, we are setting
# them explicitly for older Node versions.
ciphers = 'ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!RC4:!MD5:!PSK:!SRP:!CAMELLIA'

# Tell Node to respect the cipher order.
honorCipherOrder = true

# Specify to use at least TLSv1.1.
# See: https:#github.com/certsimple/minimum-tls-version
secureOptions = 117440512

# redirect HTTP to HTTPS
# redirectToHttps = true

[http.mounts]
'/' = '../xo-web/dist'
.
.
.

The daemon.log shows starting https on port 80 and not 443 as requested in the config:

As reflected in the log I can connect HTTPS via port 80, and verified that the cert is the very one configured.

Uncommenting the redirectToHttps = true has even a more insidious effect - neither port 80 nor 443 work. The daemon.log in this case shows much the same as last time:

Trying to connect to port 80 redirects to port 443. So the redirectToHttps is working, but as there is nothing listening on 443 so, as expected, the connection fails.

More than likely I've done something horribly wrong. I've poured through the old posts and witnessed the conversion from yaml to toml. The closest post that helps is this one, but the final working config was never posted. Additionally the documentation on site has a couple of problems, and missing information:

parameter host: this should be hostname, no?
no header # Basic HTTP section: the config file no longer has the comment header # Basic HTTP section shouldn't the doc refer to [[http.listen]] instead, or put the comment header # Basic HTTP section back into the repo?
support for both HTTPS and HTTP: the stated need for a separate [[http.listen]] section isn't clearly documented. Nor what should be in the section. Are the single bracket sections like [http.mounts] and [http.listenOptions] needed in the new [[http.listen]] for port 80? What is the schema/ hierarchy for the config.toml file?

Again I've probably done something wrong but cannot puzzle out what exactly.

The "well known installed script" is a 3rd party script that we have no review on it, so use it with caution But it's not your problem here.

Indeed, the output shows that XO only listens on port 80.

Let me check the doc.

Ping @julien-f

julien-f

@bill-gertz We should see in xo-server's logs which config files it loads, it's weird there is not trace of it.

Please run xo-server manually and tell me what you see:

env DEBUG='*' xo-server

@julien-f said in XOA won't start HTTPS listen on configured port:

env DEBUG='*' xo-server

I took your request to have a slight typo, is this what you where looking for?

It looks like it's loading the older config config.toml.orig and a "dot hidden" file .xo-server.toml. Let me move these pigs out of the directory and restart.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. The debug trick was the key to see WTF it was loading. Moved those two pigs out of the directory to an a hidden directory off of the parent and it starts as it's supposed to. Here is the same debug output with those two files out of the way:

Looks like some unexpected files lying about plus some unexpected behavior:

Is the .xo-server.toml supposed to be there?
Could we add a warning to doc set that xo-server seems to load any file named *.toml.*?

That said I think it's fixed, if there is something I'm not seeing as a consequence of moving the .xo-server.toml file out, please, please let me know. Here is the contents of the .xo-server.toml file:

Thanks to Damp, olivierlambert and to julien-f for the quick help.

Looks like the .xo-server.toml is installed by the the well known installer script, from xo-install.sh script:

.
.
.
echo -e "${INFO} Activating modified configuration file"
                mv $INSTALLDIR/xo-builds/xen-orchestra-$TIME/packages/xo-server/sample.config.toml $INSTALLDIR/xo-builds/xen-orchestra-$TIME/packages/xo-server/.xo-server.toml
.
.
.

Looks like we either need to document the 'load any toml' behavior or get the other script to declare uncle and let your script drop down the default config.

olivierlambert

That's why we prefer to let people follow our official documentation to install XO: there's less potential issues than with 3rd party scripts we have no control over it.

For the doc itself, we'll improve it (you can do a PR if you like, it's all in markdown! )

bill.gertz

@olivierlambert

Thanks again for the help, and will submit a PR but under which repo for the documentation? Looks like your using GitBook and I'm clueless on submitting PRs on GitBook. Is there some sort of way to submit changes to your doc set from within GitBook?

I ran into the problem anyway due to the load any toml behavior. xo-server startup loaded my backup of the original config (config.toml.orig). That was not really expected.

julien-f

This is already correctly documented: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/blob/377552103eabbf99d12101136fc8b37eb8f2dcf4/packages/xo-server/sample.config.toml#L3-L5

Avoid using .xo-server.toml as they are relative to the current working directory (similar to other command tools like Git).

bill.gertz

@julien-f @olivierlambert

Thanks for getting back to me, not trying to pick a fight. Loading config.toml.orig is not clear based on what the comments say:

# This file is automatically looking for at the following places:
# - `$HOME/.config/xo-server/config.toml`
# - `/etc/xo-server/config.toml`

xo-server is loading config.toml.orig that just doesn't seem to square with the comments. If it's documented elsewhere in the file and I just missed it please help me find it Just the same shouldn't this behavior be documented in https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/configuration.html? I can't be the only person to make .orig style backup copies before making changes?

julien-f

@bill-gertz Indeed I missed this, xo-server loads all files named config.* with a known extension.

I have to take a look at why it loads a .orig.

bill.gertz

@julien-f

Along with .xo-server.toml as you pointed out earlier and I've experienced :-/. Thanks again for looking into this.

julien-f

@bill-gertz AFAICT, this is a log issue, the file .orig is not taken into account for the configuration, I'll fix this.

Regarding .xo-server.toml, I will not change anything, it's used by some devs in some specific setups, but it's not documented as it does not make sense for user to do this.

bill.gertz

@julien-f

Again not trying to pick a fight but your own documentation says to use .xo-server.toml here when compiling from the sources.

Shouldn't this be changed from:

Now you have to create a config file for xo-server:

$ cd packages/xo-server
$ cp sample.config.toml .xo-server.toml

To something like:

Now you have to create a config file for xo-server:

$ cd packages/xo-server
$ cp sample.config.toml config.toml

This is what happened when the 3rd party script ran. I can submit PRs for the GitBook docs, but I don't see anyway of doing that from GitBooks. Is there a repo for this GitBook doc in which I can submit a PR? I'll be happy to submit a PR to the 3rd party script repo as well.

julien-f

@bill-gertz said in XOA won't start HTTPS listen on configured port:

Again not trying to pick a fight

Don't worry about this

@bill-gertz said in XOA won't start HTTPS listen on configured port:

Hmm, indeed, I will change this to avoid any issues in the future.

@julien-f

Thanks, I'll lay my cards more directly on the table next time. Glad you're not taking it personally. I'll use that repo for PRs. Thanks again.

julien-f

@bill-gertz I've made the change, the documentation will update soon: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/commit/7b47e4024492d38bca6e928748490e0a4880264c
