After update to the new kopano version in the app center the kopano-server service not starting.
Error interactive authentication requiered.
Waht can I do?
best regards

Is that the error you are getting? Where is it logged?
Please provide more information about your environment. https://wiki.z-hub.io/display/K4U/Debugging+Kopano+on+Univention could give you an indication where to get these information.
Hi,
thanks for your answer.
I had check the problem.
When the UCS server starts the MariaDB database server couldn’t start automaticaly.
When I start the mysql service and kopano-server serices maually it works.
Why not automaticaly?
Do you need any informations of me to fix that problem?
best regards
Chris
I already provided you with a link on which information to provide.
A not starting database has in the past been discussed in Kopano won't start after upgrade to 4.2. I would recommend to figure out why the database did not start on boot (the linked post gives some commands for that as well).
Hi,

Why not?
From what you have said so far your problems come more from systemd, than either UCS or Kopano, so that should be no problem.
It says the following on the page I linked you to:
By default new installations log to journald. You can view the individual logfiles by executing, e.g.:
# for kopano-server journalctl -u kopano-server
This is the log of this morning, when I had restarted the server
systemd[1]: Started Kopano Core Storage Server.

You now have established that kopano-server could not start, since he was unable to connect to the database. The next step would be why the database is not up. e.g. with systemctl status mariadb.service and journalctl -u mariadb.service.
Thanks, here is the result

I don’t find why the DB couldn’t start (Timeout) within the boot process but when I start the process manually it starts.
Ok, then I am again mentioning Kopano won't start after upgrade to 4.2, which will give you more hints on debugging this.
I can confirm the MariaDB timeout problem at boot. Same thing on my UCS system. Too many apps (mainly because of docker) are starting in parallel, the HDD can’t keep up and MariaDB can’t start.
After a manual start of MariaDB and a manual restart of kopano-server solves the problem until the next reboot.
could you try the following? We cannot formally depend on mysql/mariadb in our systemd units, since at other installation this service could be running on a different hosts. For UCS systems this should not be the case (at least in 99,99999999999 of the cases).
Can you create a systemd override to see if that solves it for you. you have to do the following:
# first create the override file by calling
systemctl edit kopano-server
# this will open up an editor where you have to paste the following (and save the file afterwards):
[Unit]
After=mariadb.service
Once this is done kopano-server should always wait for mariadb to be started.
If that fixes/improves it for you then https://stash.z-hub.io/projects/K4U/repos/kopano4ucs/pull-requests/21/overview could be merged and be part of the next app update.
Hi @fbartels,
tried it right now. Nice approach but my MariaDB is still crashing at boot.
My virtual HDD is not the fastest but there is just too much stuff getting executed in parallel at boot, eg. the start of all docker containers, apt-get stuff (according to top) etc…
In fact, I have to wait until every DB dependent process crashed, then restart MariaDB and restart all crashed services (Kopano, BlueSpice, OpenProject, Wordpress) after another.
Regards,
Felix
ok, it its indeed mariadb causing the chain to fail, then there is nothing we can do in Kopano about it.
Hi together,
I want to inform you, that after the update to kopano core version 8.6.8.2 the MariaDB and kopano-server service are starts now after a reboot of the server.
Thanks all of you for your help.
best regards
