xoa updater stalls
-
Hi all,
thank you for the great work providing XCP-ng and XOA.
I have a XCP-ng installation with an XOA VM running the XOA webinterface.
Some days ago I had a look into the webinterface. The current version is 5.103.1. When I hit the 'Refresh' button nothing happens. I just get the initial message 'Start updating...' and then it hangs for days without progress.
I also tried
xoa-updaterfrom ssh console and alsoxoa-updater ---upgrade. In both cases the command hangs without any output for hours and days.If I run
xoa checkit hangs at the last test:$ xoa check ✔ 1/16 - Node version ✔ 2/16 - Memory ✔ 3/16 - xo-server config syntax ✔ 4/16 - Disk space for / ✔ 5/16 - Disk space for /var ✔ 6/16 - Native SMB support ✔ 7/16 - Fetching VM UUID ✔ 8/16 - xoa-support user ✔ 9/16 - XOA version ✔ 10/16 - /var is writable ✔ 11/16 - Appliance registration ✔ 12/16 - NTP synchronization ✔ 13/16 - npm version ✔ 14/16 - Internet connectivity ✔ 15/16 - local SSH serverI checked the internet connectivity and that seems to be fine in my eyes. No proxy involved - just a firewall that prevents XOA being accessible from the internet, but granting now full access from the XOA VM to the internet (which I would like to restrikt again further once the issue is solved).
I don't have a clue.
Just for a comparison: Im am running a XCP-ng instance in a different network with identical components, that runs all the updates and checks like a charm. It made it to version 5.106.4 without any trouble. Here is, what I would expect in the output of the above described host as well:
15.7.2025, 11:38:31: Start updating... 15.7.2025, 11:38:31: stable channel selected 15.7.2025, 11:38:31: All up to dateSo: Is this a common issue? What could be the cause of the
xoa-updaterto stall this way?Kind regards

There was a change a while back with the way Node handles timeouts, which affected instances of XOA where both IPv4 and IPv6 were assigned.
Temporarily adding the following entry to /etc/hosts will likely resolve the issue --

Thank you so much for that hint.

Yes, after restarting some xoa service this now works. So cool. You are great. Thank you.
