Question

On Synology DSM Homebridge UI not accessible after homebridge-config-ui upgrade to v4.51.0 (or 4.51.2)

Describe The Bug

I updated homebridge-config-ui-x to v4.51.0. The download seemed to be fine, but then the server had a hard time restarting and then it became inaccessible and the one plugin XFinityHome was running became unresponsive. I then completely uninstalled homebridge, wiped out all the folders and did a clean install of homebridge and then updated homebridge-config-ui-x to v4.51.0. There are no other plugins running now, and the homebridge-config-ui-x is broken.

I have the Node.js v18 package installed and the prior version of the UI (v4.50.4) was working fine before the update.

Logs

Note- this log was generated after I completely uninstalled homebridge and wiped out the folders, and reinstalled homebridge and then updated homebridge-config-ui to v4.51.0.  There are no other plugins installed at this time.

Answer 1 · 2023-10-24T15:42:42.000Z

Same here. Dead. Can´t get in with "http://192.168.xx.xx:8080/login".

Node: v18.16.0
npm: 9.5.1

How to get back to the old HB UI version?

How to get back to the old HB UI version?

There's probably a more elegant way than what I did, which was to kill the service, wipe out the folders and reinstall. I've got the config file, and a backup, so I knew I could get back up quickly using a sledge hammer.

My suspicion about how to repair more elegantly would be to log in via SSH and try to reinstall homebridge-config-ui-x via the command line.

Answer 3 · 2023-10-24T16:11:09.000Z

Hi.
You said: Reinstall homebridge-config-ui-x via the command line.
Yes but how to install the old 4.50.6 version?
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-config-ui-x?

Hope this will work and HB UI become accessible again.

Answer 4 · 2023-10-24T16:19:04.000Z

Try the following it worked for me:-

sudo hb-service rebuild
sudo npm install -g npm@10.2.1
sudo reboot
Wait a while

I looked at: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/commands/npm-install
and there is a "version" argument, see option d) a @

For reference, I was on v4.50.4 previously.

Answer 6 · 2023-10-24T16:24:21.000Z

I have not much brain capacities to fiddle this out this day. Not enough sleep ...

Would this "I looked at: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/commands/npm-install" and there is a "version" argument, see option d) a @" change anything in your suggestion with step 1-4?

Two separate people with different suggestions getting intermingled.

Answer 8 · 2023-10-24T16:28:16.000Z

But you get it alive with step 1-4? Yes?

But before "hb-service rebuild" shall I stop all processes with "sudo pkill -u homebridge" and "sudo systemctl stop homebridge"?

Answer 9 · 2023-10-24T16:40:35.000Z

@permaMonk Yes, but I then updated node and that's broke it.

Answer 11 · 2023-10-24T16:48:11.000Z

Gosh - hallelujah. It´s online again after reboot. Great thx to you.

But now I´m afraid to update npm to 18.17.0 or 20.5.0. Last time I´ve tried anything above npm 18.16.0 it goes up in smoke. Any good experiences with that?

Answer 12 · 2023-10-24T16:55:41.000Z

Hey everyone - I've also got a 'frozen' homebridge UI startup screen after the update. I'm a total novice when it comes to this stuff, so if anyone has it in them to post some instructions on how to either rollback to the last update or fix this, I'd be super grateful! I can access homebridge via SSH from my Mac, but after that I'm not sure where to start.....!

Was there a 'killer' set of commands you used to get through the error? I'm able to get to homebridge via SSH on MacOS terminal

Answer 14 · 2023-10-24T17:31:38.000Z

+1 on the dead Homebridge... Hyper-V guest - Ubuntu 22.04.3 - Node 18.18.2 - Not sure what else to say... Update to Config-ui appears to go well, click to restart Homebridge and it never comes alive. I have a snapshot from last night, so I can get back quickly, I suppose, but would rather be up to date.

worked for mine. "sudo npm install -g npm@10.2.1" gave some errors but after reboot it get´s alive again. Updating node to 18.17.0 or 20.5.0 is a problem for later.

For reference: It´s a RasPi 4 with raspbian-buster-lite.

Just 'sudo hb-service rebuild' by itself followed by a reboot got me going again. Thanks!

Answer 17 · 2023-10-24T17:45:14.000Z

Sorry - I'm really having problems. Does anyone know what this error message is:
node: /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.26' not found (required by node)
I get this when I try to run "sudo hb-service rebuild" from pi@homebridge in SSH mode (or frankly any command!)

Answer 18 · 2023-10-24T19:42:20.000Z

FWIW: I have two different homebridge servers, one on Raspberry Pi, the other on DSM.
Raspberry Pi updated to the new homebridge-config-ui-x fine, the DSM did not.
Raspberry Pi:

Homebridge v1.6.1
Node.js v18.18.1
npm 9.8.1

DSM:

Homebridge v1.6.1
Node.js v18.15.0
npm 9.6.7

The DSM rebuild that was used to generate the logs with this defect shows a missing dependency of GLIBCXX_3.4.26:

I ran back to safety and wiped out the DSM homebridge, and reinstalled from scratch.

I did the same. I’m not an expert with this kinda stuff so just wiped the SD card and installed a fresh image. I’ll avoid updating the ui until I’m sure it’s not going to brick the whole system again!

Answer 20 · 2023-10-24T19:56:16.000Z

I've been down 24 hours, this was a lifesaver thanks. sudo hb-service rebuild also worked for me. Please can you let us know when this bug is fixed.

Thanks

Answer 21 · 2023-10-24T20:36:51.000Z

For me the easiest way was to reflash the SD-card and restore the system out of a backup

Everyone, we have been looking into this issue since it was first reported a few hours after the release was published. And have a theory into why this is occurring to some users after installing the update.

When the config-ui-x update is installed, the final step is supposed to rebuild a binary module within node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch, and this is silently failing. And when homebridge is restarted it notices the issue and tries to fix itself, and in most cases it resolves itself ( the messages above ), but in some scenarios it fails causing the UI to not be available.

As people have mentioned the best method for recovery is to ssh into your RPI/Homebridge instance, and run sudo hb-service rebuild

@rdeutsch3 and @AntLondon Can you provide details of the environment with the LIBC Error ?

@rdeutsch3 On your DSM, I presume you are currently running version 4.50.6 ? And could you share what is in the directory

/volume1/@appstore/homebridge/app/lib/node_modules/homebridge-config-ui-x/node_modules/@homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch/build

ie ls -l /volume1/@appstore/homebridge/app/lib/node_modules/homebridge-config-ui-x/node_modules/@homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch/build

Answer 25 · 2023-10-25T00:13:39.000Z

Tried everything above, tried apt-get and full-upgrade to the system. Rebuilt HB, rebooted, NOTHING worked. Then found this thread: homebridge/homebridge-config-ui-x#514 and did a rebuild of just npm, restarted home bridge, and I was back in

sudo npm rebuild --unsafe-perm
sudo hb-service start

in the GUI, I noticed theres an update for node.js to 20.9.0 seemingly released today (I'm on 18.18.2). After trying to update Nodejs, HB failed to start again. So I rolled back again to 18.18.2, rebuilt npm, and was back up and running again. Didn't need to nuke the system altogether fwiw.

sudo n 18.18.2

Answer 26 · 2023-10-25T01:25:34.000Z

Phew! Ran into this as well but 'sudo hb-service rebuild' worked (no reboot necessary, node 18.17.0).

@JSVarga - Looking at that log, looks like you need the compiling tools - https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-syno-spk/wiki/DSM-7:-Enable-Compiling-Of-Native-Modules

If you using the Homebridge Raspbian image or the Homebridge APT Package, this will work to restore service without losing existing configuration.

sudo apt-get reinstall homebridge
This will downgrade the NodeJS version to 18.18.2 and reset the versions of homebridge and config-ui-x back to 1.6.1 and 4.50.6

@NorthernMan54 :

@rdeutsch3 On your DSM, I presume you are currently running version 4.50.6 ? And could you share what is in the directory

/volume1/@appstore/homebridge/app/lib/node_modules/homebridge-config-ui-x/node_modules/@homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch/build

ie ls -l /volume1/@appstore/homebridge/app/lib/node_modules/homebridge-config-ui-x/node_modules/@homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch/build

My DSM is running:
DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 5
I'm running homebridge natively, using 3.0.17
It also has the Node.js v18 natively installed, which translates to v18.15.0
I am running homebridge-config-ui-x v4.50.4, which came from the homebridge package, without updating it.

There is no @homebridge folder under the '/volume1/@appstore/homebridge/app/lib/node_modules/homebridge-config-ui-x/node_modules/' folder.

Same issue here on Synology DSM on 7.1.1 app installed from package center v3.0.17. It hangs when updating to 4.51 on node 18.15.

You can reinstall (remove/install) Homebridge from the package center to go back to version 4.50.4 without losing config, tried it 2 times now.

Tried rebuilding like the log stated but no result. Seems like v4.51 isn't a major update so I keep running 4.50.4 for now.

Answer 32 · 2023-10-25T18:15:20.000Z

Had the same issue here - saw the Homebridge UI update, noted the Node.js required version (I was on 18.x) but after installing the update Homebridge was inaccessible. Had to SSH on to it and use e hb-condig to update node.js to 20.x and restart all was fine.
Running on a Raspberry Pi 4 2Gb originally installed via raspbian image
Looks to be a patch install issue which the Node.js update cleared, but Homebridge couldn't resolve itself on boot up.

Answer 33 · 2023-10-25T21:05:57.000Z

Hi all,

It seems there's an error in src/bin/platforms/linux.ts

Line 420 executes:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource-repo.gpg.key | sudo gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/nodes

so the key is stored in /etc/apt/keyrings/nodes

In line 426 the old file "rm -f /usr/share/keyrings/nodesource.gpg" is deleted

However line 432 hasn't been updated, as it still refers to this old file, which is now deleted:

echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg] https://deb.nodesource.com/node_${majorVersion}.x nodistro main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list

It should say deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/nodes]

If you edit file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list and correct this, then run

apt-get update && apt-get install nodejs

you'll get the right version of nodejs. Finally rebuild the modules with

sudo hb-service rebuild

followed by

sudo hb-service restart

and you should be good to go.

Answer 34 · 2023-10-25T21:17:11.000Z

@mhawkshaw - Nice find. A couple of questions:
A: When (roughly) will this be rolled into an update?
B: What is the downside of waiting?
C: Should we update to the iron version of Node.js or hold off?

Answer 35 · 2023-10-25T21:42:08.000Z

A: I submitted a pull request, which was accepted, and will be included in the next release
B: None that I'm aware of. If you're still on the previous version of the Homebridge UI then just wait for the next update otherwise I guess you could just follow the steps I listed above and you will be on the correct version of nodejs and Homebridge will work.
C: The steps above will get you to the iron version, which is the same version that would be installed with the patch

Answer 36 · 2023-10-25T22:53:16.000Z

@JSVarga - Looking at that log, looks like you need the compiling tools - https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-syno-spk/wiki/DSM-7:-Enable-Compiling-Of-Native-Modules

Thanks, I will do that to future proof.

Meanwhile followed notes from @rickklh and just reinstalled the native package in Synology DSM and it worked a treat.

Answer 37 · 2023-10-25T23:29:18.000Z

@mhawkshaw - Your fix is part of 4.51.1

@AntLondon - Your issue is homebridge/homebridge#3453, there are a couple of fixes in the issue.

Am going to limit this issue to just Synology DSM issues with homebridge-config-ui@v4.51.0

@rdeutsch3 @JSVarga @rickklh I think the issue with update on your Synology is related to this error message

Error Error: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /volume1/@appstore/homebridge/app/lib/node_modules/homebridge-config-ui-x/node_modules/@homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch/build/Release/pty.node)

We are going to dig into this and get back you with an update.

Answer 38 · 2023-10-26T00:47:29.000Z

@mhawkshaw and @NorthernMan54 - Thanks for being so responsive to this issue. Needless to say, I was stunned when my Pi updated with no sweat and my DSM went belly up. My DSM instance was only responsible for bringing my XFINITY alarm into HomeKit. I updated them both just before going to bed. As a lead developer, I know better than to do commits or updates as I walk away… I know it, but I forgot. :)

Answer 39 · 2023-10-26T17:58:16.000Z

4.51.1 was presented as an upgrade option on my DSM, so I figured I'd try it and no joy.

*** Lastly, I simply uninstalled the homebridge package and then reinstalled it, not wiping everything out this time, and I was back up and running, without restoring anything.

Answer 40 · 2023-10-26T22:39:03.000Z

I had problems aswell. I have reinstalled Homebridge and used my backup. Everything is working now with the old version.

I just recently started using Homebridge on my Synology, installed through the package manager and all worked perfectly fine. Saw there was an update and did the update through the package manager and now I can't access the UI and none of my Homebridge stuff is working in Apple Home. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Spent a couple days getting all my stuff set up and really don't wanna have to start over.

Yes, you can get back up very quickly. Go to the Package Center on your Synology DSM, open the package (not clicking the Open button) and click the down arrow next to Open, and select Uninstall. Then go re-install the homebridge package and all your devices will re-appear in Apple Home. But you may have to re-setup your automations that interact with devices exposed by Homebridge. I say this as a couple of mine didn't seem to work after reinstalling and restarting.

Thank you thank you. A million thank you's that totally worked. I was afraid if I uninstalled I would lose all my settings. I don't normally install stuff from the package manager but I was having issues getting the docker version to be seen by Apple Home so went this route as it worked right out of the box.

FYI: I figured I'd try the update from 4.50.4 to 4.51.2 to see what happens. I assumed it would stop and not proceed with the changes mentioned by @NorthernMan54 [#1604]. However, the update proceeded to work and the system ended up in a failed/unresponsive state.

Getting the system working reliably again:
I stopped the service, uninstalled the homebridge package and reinstalled and all back and working (several times after several attempts at updating, reinstalling, command line workarounds, etc).

My bottom line: 4.50.4 of homebridge-config-ui-x is the only stable version right now.

Other tidbits:

There is no Node.js v20 package available for installation from Synology.

We have released Homebridge-config-ui-x-4.52.0-beta.33 which should resolve the issue where people are having issues running sudo hb-service-rebuild after updating homebridge-config-ui-x on linux based environments and needed to rollback to the previous version. We are looking for testers that want to give it a try. So far we have had one positive test result.

Answer 53 · 2023-10-31T16:19:20.000Z

@rdeutsch3 - With Beta 33, I had updated the native module prebuild process to reduce the number of issues on RPI, but haven't deep dived into the Synology DSM.

At this point in your last log -
npm ERR! Prebuild binary exists: /volume1/@appstore/homebridge/app/lib/node_modules/homebridge-config-ui-x/node_modules/@homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch/prebuilds/linux-x64/node.abi108.node
npm ERR! Prebuild binary failed test.

It is attempting to load a native module, and it is failing.

If your running 4.50.6, what does this command show

find /volume1/@appstore/homebridge/app/lib/node_modules/homebridge-config-ui-x/node_modules/@homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch/ -ls

And I'm going to introduce a new beta later today, with additional logging to hopefully find the resolution to the issue.

Tks for that ls, it helps to determine why 4.50.4 works and a bit into why 4.51.x fails.

Error: /lib64/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /volume1/@appstore/homebridge/app/lib/node_modules/homebridge-config-ui-x/node_modules/@homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch/build/Release/pty.node)`

Does this output anything on your DSM ? getconf GNU_LIBC_VERSION

My working theory is that the updated OS prebuild server is generating native modules with too high of a GLIBC version.

Not on discord, and not familiar. I used to work remotely into Toronto, from Texas
Update: I'm now on discord, but still not familiar. Tried to message you, and failed. Perhaps we can connect at some point and resolve more quickly.

Answer 57 · 2023-10-31T17:53:25.000Z

Challenge is that the prebuild service builds native modules for a lot of environments, and the old Linux OS is no longer supported. Need to find a method of building for the older GLIBC

From old version

strings node.abi108.node | grep GLIBC | awk -F@ '{ print $3 }' | sort | uniq

GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBC_2.2.5

From Current Version

strings node.abi108.node | grep GLIBC | awk -F@ '{ print $2 }' | sort | uniq

GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBC_2.2.5
GLIBC_2.28

Build from buster-slim

strings ~/Downloads/node.abi108.node | grep GLIBC | awk -F@ '{ print $2 $3 }' | sort | uniq

GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBC_2.2.5
GLIBC_2.28

Answer 58 · 2023-10-31T19:48:14.000Z

Build from stretch

strings node.abi108.node | grep GLIBC | awk -F@ '{ print $2 $3 }' | sort | uniq

GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBC_2.2.5

PS Everything was very cranky as the OS Release is no longer supported

Now just need to split up the build process for NodeJS <= 18 and NodeJS > 18

Answer 59 · 2023-11-03T13:29:19.000Z

@rdeutsch3 and others - If you have some free time and brave, could you test Homebridge-config-ui-x@v4.52.0-beta.49 ? I believe I have resolved the GLIBC_2.28 issue.

This version includes native modules when running NodeJS <= 18 that don't look for GLIBC_2.28

PS Getting this assembled as a package took longer than expected as I needed to redo the build process, and create a separate build environment targeting older releases.

Answer 60 · 2023-11-03T14:03:15.000Z

@NorthernMan54 successfully installed the version v4.52.0-beta.49 on Raspbian GNU/Linux Buster (10) with node v18.18.2 via ui.
with version v4.51.0 I had the issue with GLIBCXX_3.4.26/node 20
so node 20 isn't required anymore for homebridge-config-ui-x (for now) ?

Answer 61 · 2023-11-03T14:07:13.000Z

Homebridge-config-ui-x supports Node 18 and 20, so your okay for now. But at some point you will need an operating system update to a more recent version to support Node 20, when Node 18 goes out of support ( Spring 2025 ). Hopefully synology supplies this.

Answer 62 · 2023-11-03T14:14:50.000Z

Perfect - I currently in-upgrading to bullseye in the meantime (with updating node to v20), homebridge is working fine, some plugins need attention (eg. camera ffmpeg does not stream anymore, but this is another story) ;)

Answer 63 · 2023-11-03T14:38:29.000Z

@NorthernMan54 I will be able to try it on my DSM on Sunday evening or Monday am

@rdeutsch3 - If we get a couple of positive results, we may release before then. Stay tuned.

Answer 66 · 2023-11-06T15:43:26.000Z

@NorthernMan54 - Confirmed success on update from v4.50.4 to 4.52.1, with no changes to the native DSM homebridge installation.

Feels like Docker is in my future as it looks like my 415+ DSM is no longer supported with the latest versions of their OS, even though I fixed the resistor and updated the memory ages ago and its still working great. :(

Answer 67 · 2023-11-06T19:10:23.000Z

@rdeutsch3 thank you confirming.

Thank you for your tests of the various versions. Your plans to switch to docker or something else in the future is a great thought. The build server to create the native modules for these older versions is also long past support as well, so with the next major update, likely 12 to 18 months out, we won’t be able to build these anymore.

Am thinking we need to highlight this future end of support for older OS’s.

I’m going to leave this open for a few weeks, in case anyone else has issues.

Answer 68 · 2023-11-07T07:41:10.000Z

I used to run Homebridge on a Pi then Synology Docker (DSM 6 & 7) all without issue. With Synology DSM 7 it seemed the "native install" was the way to go so I switched... looks like I may be switching back to Docker as well... appreciate the updates and roadmap.

I found you can go to the package manager on Synology and stop and then uninstall homebridge and then reinstall the homebridge package and everything works with the default installed version of the config ui plug-in. Then you can update the config ui plug in to a newer version that addresses the issue.

Bummer. There is one more approach that will definitely work, but it is a bit more dramatic. If you have a backup of when it was working there is very little drama, if you don’t then it means re-installing the plug-ins and re-adding to HK.

Go to the Package Manager on the Synology, then stop the service within the package page and uninstall it. Then delete the entire /homebridge folder and re-installs the homebridge package. This makes it like a fresh installation.

Then choose your path:
A) The clean slate approach - Update the config up plug in to one that works and then reinstall the other plug-ins and configure HK. I actually favor this one, as a software engineer this allowed me to isolate it down to just the config plug in being problematic.
B) Restore the homebridge backup. This will automatically download the plug-ins and they’ll show back up in HK like they were before and any previous automations will work, etc. Then update the config-ui plug-in to a known working version.

I’ve actually done both as a consequence of this issue, several times as a matter of fact. I then transplanted homebridge onto an old Raspberry Pi 3+ with the restoration.

Can you elaborate a bit on how I can "Update the config up plug in to one that works"? I can't find any reference to the UI plugin version in any of the configuration files. Is it an SSH command?

Answer 74 · 2023-12-19T00:59:56.000Z

You are correct the config UI is not in the config like the rest of the plug ins.

If you uninstall the homebridge package on the Synology, and then re-install it leaving the current config in place everything will work. Then in the homebridge plug-in install section there will be a dropdown for what version to install and you can pick a version that works. This issue was addressed a while back, so jumping forward to at least 4.52.1 was key. The latest/current version 4.54.1 works.

Ah.. I see what you mean now but I'm having the same problem as RegisCorbet i.e. I get this problem from a fresh install i.e. after a fresh install the UI plugin does not work for me...

I'm running...

DSM = DSM 7.1.1
Node = v18.15.0
DS216j

...and just following the install instructions from https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge/wiki/Install-Homebridge-on-Synology-DSM.

For the sake of clarity and curiosity I just stopped and uninstalled homebridge on my Synology 415+ via the package manager. I then reinstalled homebridge from package version 3.0.20, which I think was made available in early Dec. That version has homebridge-config-ui-x v4.52.3 in that package and runs fine on my system.

My DSM is running: 7.1.1-42962 Update 5
The Node.js package v18 is installed, as well as homebridge 3.0.20 package

Without updating any plug-ins or anything, Homebridge reports:
Node.js v18.15
Homebridge v1.7.0
homebridge-config-ui-x v4.52.3
npm v 10.1.0

If you've got the same packages as me and it doesn't work, I might suggest the 'clean slate' approach.
What I would suggest is copying your entire homebridge folder on the DSM to a back up location, then deleting it from the original location and uninstalling and reinstalling the packages and see what you come up with a clean load. You could then install the latest config ui and see if it works. Again the latest/current version 4.54.1 works for me.

If you've got a backup, e.g. from the homebridge/backups/instance-backups folder from your original install when it was working, you should be able to restore it and get your HK environment back like it was.

My setup is pretty much the same as yours. I have a slightly newer DSM (DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 6) and a slightly older NPM (9.5.0) but otherwise everything looks the same (i.e. 3.0.20 (v1.7.0)).

Thanks for your help but I'm going to find another device to run it on I think.
