Scheduled update makes PMS inaccessible
kevindd992002 opened this issue · 61 comments
I’m using your plexupdate script to auto-update two PMS servers. Both are Debian 10.10 boxes. One in a custom-made box with an ASRock board and another in an Intel NUC 10.
With the custom-made box, I don't have any issues with the auto update process. However, when the NUC 10 PMS gets automatically updated, it becomes inaccessible until I manually restart the service. Before restarting the service, it is active and running. When checking /var/log/syslog, you can see that the plexupdate process was successful and has no errors at all. Here are the log files of both systems for your reference:
Custom-made box:

Jul 20 06:37:04 nuc systemd[1]: Starting Daily apt upgrade and clean activities...
The weird thing here is that when I run plexupdate manually (/opt/plexupdate/plexupdate.sh --config /etc/plexupdate.conf) to update the NUC 10 PMS, there is no issue at all. So not sure what's going on with the scheduled cron update that's making the PMS inaccessible.
Any ideas?
I also have the same issue -- I have a feeling it might be related to the plemediaserver service not stopping. If I try to run sudo service plexmediaserver stop it doesn't halt.
I don't understand why it's only happening on my NUC though. My two boxes have the same Debian version. And when I do a systemctl stop plexmediaserver.service, the service does halt.
@mrworf are you still maintaining this script? please help.
It definitely sounds like a permissions issue. Can you provide a ps aux before and after the cron job on the failing machine? Also please share your cron entry just-in-case something's off
How do I do the before and after the cron job? There was a PMS update today (at around 6AM). So If I run ps aux now, is it the before or the after? Please be gentle on me as I'm a Linux noob.

Well, you can manually run /etc/cron.daily/plexupdate as root which should replicate the behavior of cron. If you do that now, will plex seize to respond or it only happens when an actual update happened? (should do nothing when no update is available).
You can also, for kick and giggles, add a cronjob which runs systemctl stop plexmediaserver followed by systemctl start plexmediaserver ... It should result in the same issue, ie, no working plex server. This is a good test to do, because if this doesn't break plex, then we have to look for new ideas. If this also breaks plex then it's something to do with how plex is started.
To create a new cronjob, simply put something like the following in /etc/cron.hourly
#!/bin/bash
echo "plexupdate testing"
systemctl stop plexmediaserver
systemctl start plexmediaserver
You may need to reload cron ( service cron reload) if it doesn't run it within 1h10m. Let me know what happens
I forgot, make sure your script is executable, ie chmod +x plextesting (assuming it's called plextesting do not add .sh since cron will not run it)
Ok, so I added FORCE='yes' in my plexupdate.conf file so that it forces an update when I try to run manually. Like I said above, running /opt/plexupdate/plexupdate.sh --config /etc/plexupdate.conf does not break plex.
I tried running /etc/cron.daily/plexupdate and it also didn't break it. For the ps aux results, see following:

For the hourly cronjob that you want me to test, is it also fine if I have FORCE='yes' in my conf file? Can I run it like the daily cronjob to test? Or should I wait for 1h10m for it to run?
the hourly job was just to see if we were able to replicate the issue without plexupdate which we were. The problem is now figuring out why. The odd thing here is that cron is running as root and it's able to restart plex and plex is running as a new process, yet it's not accessible.
It's worth looking at the plexmediaserver log to see what it shows on start. If you haven't yet restarted plex, can you locate the logs, zip it and attach to this ticket so we can have a look.
Also, you can edit the /etc/crontab to make the test job to run much sooner than 1h10m for additional tests (cron.hourly was just a easier method but for subsequent testing it will be a pain).
I haven't run the hourly job yet. So I don't know if it breaks plex or not. Do you want me to wait for that 1h10m interval for the hourly job to run or can I just force it by running /etc/cron.hourly/plextesting?
I misunderstood you last message.
However, you won't be replicating the issue if you force it since you'll be running as root and not cron. If you want to run this faster, edit /etc/crontab and have it run the plextest script at a much earlier time.
We need to see if stop/start via cron is the root cause of this issue. Running the script manually will not replicate the path and we'd be comparing apples to oranges. With script I'm referring to the small script which only stops and then starts plexmediaserver again.
Ok, gotcha. Hold on, let me use /etc/crontab instead and post back.
So I added an entry in crontab -e instead so that the script is ran every 5 minutes:
*/5 * * * * /tmp/plextesting
Waited for the job to run which it did:

BUT it did not break plex
Okay, then the next thing is to track down where plex stores its logs and next time it breaks, gather those logs and share here, since it seems to be something with plex itself.
Also, keep in mind that usually a plex server update can take a few minutes until PMS is responding after update.
I'm familiar where the plex logs are but just to confirm, do you want the logs while it's in a hung state? And yes, the plexupdate usually happens early in the morning at around 6AM and I notice plex in this NUC being down hours after that update.
Nah, it's good to grab the logs before you restart it to get it going again. Should hopefully have clues as to why it's stuck. You might even have some logs now with clues, because I think it keeps a couple of revisions before it erases the logs. As long as you know what time it happened you should be able to figure out which logfiles are relevant.
Ok, I was actually able to reproduce the issue. This is what I put in crontab to intentionally break plex:
*/5 * * * * /etc/cron.daily/plexupdate
I tried */5 * * * * /opt/plexupdate/plexupdate.sh --config /etc/plexupdate.conf earlier and it DID NOT break plex.
So at this point, I think it's a combination of the cron permissions while using the cronwrapper (/opt/plexupdate/extras/cronwrapper)
Here are the relevant plex logs.
Plex Media Server.1.log
Plex Media Server.log
And here are the syslog entries relevant to the update that broke plex:

Odd, shouldn't make a difference, but debian can be more finicky than ubuntu.
What if you run cronwrapper from crontab, does that break it too? Just to rule out it isn't because it's running from the cron.daily folder.
Having */5 * * * * /opt/plexupdate/extras/cronwrapper in crontab DOES NOT break plex. So it's only when it's the cron.daily folder that the issue happens.
What does your crontab file look like, also what's the permission on cronwrapper in cron.daily on the work vs non-working machine?
Crontab only has */5 * * * * /opt/plexupdate/extras/cronwrapper in it, nothing else.
Working machine:
root@epsilon:~# ls -la /etc/cron.daily/plexupdate
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Apr 23 02:26 /etc/cron.daily/plexupdate -> /opt/plexupdate/extras/cronwrapper
Non-working machine:
root@nuc:~# ls -la /etc/cron.daily/plexupdate
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 May 10 09:30 /etc/cron.daily/plexupdate -> /opt/plexupdate/extras/cronwrapper
So yeah, they have the same permissions.
Really? Your /etc/crontab only has that? Did you delete the rest? Typically a crontab looks more like this
ha@development:~$ cat /etc/crontab
# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
# that none of the other crontabs do.
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
# m h dom mon dow user command
17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
47 6 * * 7 root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly )
52 6 1 * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )
since it's responsible for triggering all the /etc/cron.* jobs :)
are these systems running the same distro and are they on the same branch of said distro?
Ahhh, sorry! Like I said, Linux noob :) I was talking about the contents of when I do crontab -e. Here are the contents of my /etc/crontab:
root@nuc:~# cat /etc/crontab

Yes, these systems run the same distro and from the same branch.
No worries :) what's the permission of /opt/plexupdate/extras/cronwrapper on both systems?
Also can you run git show -s in the /opt/plexupdate of each machine? This will tell us what version is running

Seems to me like this is more of a debian issue than a specific plexupdate issue. I know that sounds like a cop out :-/ but without a system to work with locally it will be really difficult to diagnose this issue.
I'd make sure you've run apt update on both system (which I don't doubt you have already) and also compare uname -a and lsb_release -a on both just in-case something is different. But if these are identical, I'd post on a debian forum for some guidance. Maybe there's something else interfering with it.
At least it sounds like you've found a workaround that works in the meantime
I understand. What is the purpose of using the cronwrapper anyway? I'll try posting on the debian forums but it would be hard to explain this to them. I expect push back saying that it's the script's fault or something but I guess it's worth trying.
And yes, when I do an apt update && apt upgrade, I do it for both.

It's to allow the plexupdate.sh to live elsewhere and also to handle things like if you want to get an email with the log from a failed run, etc. It also adds some sanity checking for the script you're invoking so it isn't allowed to be edited by non-root people (security).
I see. Do you think reinstalling everything from scratch is worth a try before I resort to posting on debian forums? If so, is there a way to cleanly uninstall your script?
You could try re-running the installer. It places all under /opt except for a few .conf files, but rerunning it will overwrite those anyway so it should make no difference.
Ok. I'll try. Are scripts in the cron.daily folder ran as root? That seems to be what's in crontab. And crontab entries are ran as cron?
All the cron.daily stuff is run as root, the crontab specifies the user to run things as
Is /etc/crontab the same as crontab -e? From what I see, they're different files but I don't know how they interact. I never put a user when I put something in crontab -e.
crontab -e edits your own crontab file which is located under /var/spool/cron/crontabs and then they run as the user's permission. Only /etc/crontab can define who the program should run as
Ahh I see. And since I'm doing that under the root user, then it should be running as root too. This problem is really odd :)
indeed 😸
I've been thinking about this one.
When developing the new packaging, I found one issue on NVMe SSD NUCs which didn't exist on HDDs or, even SATA-3 SSD NUCs for that matter.
Issue specifically is sockets and the network adapter.
The issue is timing.
- The commanded stop (signal 15) has had time to flush the com.plexapp.plugins.library.db-wal and shm files back into the DB
- The sockets themselves have had time to actually close in the kernel after program
close() - During startup, PMS would launch so quickly, the adapter and route table were not ready.
Both resulted in being unable to open AF_INET sockets for PMS.
NVMe SSD NUCs (i7 class & higher like my NUC8-i7-HVK) using xfs can stop, write out all the data, install the package, and spin back around for a restart BEFORE the kernel is ready to open the sockets again.
During startup, we trip over the WantedBy=multi-user.target launching PMS too fast (which Debian is KNOWN to be too aggressive at network mounts). PMS gets started before the adapter is ready and before the network mounts are ready. Result = PMS failure.
Restarting PMS (which has forced a delay) avoids the problem.
Some of the users have an override now, which I probably can implement globally if there's adequate need,
I run with this as a matter of course because upstream doesn't seem to care.

How about a "sleep 5" in the process ? ( I had to inject sleep statements on QNAP because my TVS-1282-i7 with SSD is too fast )
Thank you for chiming in as requested, Chuck. So for that sleep workaround, would it need to be implemented in mrworf's plexupdate.sh or cronwrapper script?
@mrworf Chuck is familiar with my issue. I should've mentioned that the non-working NUC machine has an nVME SSD while the working one has a SATA3 SSD.
If this is being caused by the systemd issue that @ChuckPa described then there's nothing plexupdate can do to fix it directly unfortunately. We just download the deb and install it, so any changes would have to be made upstream, or you'd have to do a local workaround as described.
@ChuckPa, for your workaround above, I'd suggest using systemd requires to manage this instead. systemd uses systemd-fstab-generator to generate .mount configs for each mount point that can then be referenced in other unit files. So I use an override for plexmediaserver that just Requires my network mount point to ensure that the NFS mount is accessible before PMS starts.
Isn't it a bit inappropriate for me to mandate other dependencies? I'm just the app here. I'm not the system administrator. I am atomic and isolated.
When used normally, system restart (which has the inherent delays between kernel start and PMS start now) everything works.
When typing via command line, everything works.
It's only in this rapid fire Down-Install-Start where it seems vulnerable -- which is discussed here about being distro-dependent.
I'm not in favor of over-engineering something when a simple sleep 5 grants the needed grace time. The update is occurring automatically, probably at night, when everyone is sleeping? Will anyone care if it takes 5 seconds longer for PMS to be relaunched?
Unfortunately, the Down-Install-Start process is all being done by the deb itself, so we have no control over it. The postinst file in the deb is what manages the restart (look at lines 663-665 in the current package), so there's no way for us to interrupt it.
The closest you could come in that case would be to write your own cron script that waits until the installation is complete and then manually restart PMS just in case. If you don't care about any of the logging or other security things that cronwrapper does, you could replace it with something as simple as:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
/opt/plexupdate/plexupdate.sh
sleep 5
systemctl restart plexmediaserver
@ChuckPa my comment about the mounts was specifically for the workaround you're using on your system, not regarding this issue specifically. I'm happy to clarify more about how it works and why I think it's a good solution elsewhere if you're interested, I just don't want to confuse this thread with that.
Thanks. sorry about misreading that.
For me, a simple sleep works. I bounce through distros and VMs at a fever pace. What I have makes it easy to "drop a tarball" , add a bunch of lines to /etc/fstab, and magically everything is configured for this environment (which includes all that Plex needs)
@ChuckPa Since I was already thinking about it I decided to write up a wiki guide about how to use this setup that also has some background on how it works.
Does starting PMS before the NFS mounts really that important? I had the same issue before and PMS starts properly even if the NFS mount failed. My fix to do that was this:
root@nuc:~# cat /etc/systemd/system/mnt-data.mount
[Unit]
Description=Mount Synology data NFS Share
Requires=network-online.service nss-lookup.target
After=network-online.service nss-lookup.target
[Mount]
What=synology.home.arpa:/volume1/data
Where=/mnt/data
Type=nfs
Options=vers=4,noauto
# Uncomment the below if your server is real slow
# TimeoutSec=10
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
But I don't that has a direct correlation with the issue at hand here, right? When the NFS mount is inaccessible, PMS just shows that all media is inaccessible. And you can still restart the PMS service either way.
@demonbane , I do care about the cronwrapper "features". @ChuckPa so are we in agreement to put that extra sleep line in the PMS code or something?
Correct, NFS mounts aren't related at all to this particular issue.
Unfortunately, unless you're going to unpack and repack each deb release of PMS manually, you can't add the extra sleep line on that end. Since you do want to use the other cronwrapper features, the next step is to copy cronwrapper into /etc/cron.daily/ (and remove the linked version that the installer creates for you).
In theory, we want cronwrapper to be linked so that if we make any changes you'll get them next time the script runs, but in practice, that script hasn't been updated since 2017, so you should be fine with a copy.
I'd recommend adding your code in at line 57 of cronwrapper (right between the two if/thens). You can then try something as simple as:
sleep 10
systemctl restart plexmediaserver
Instead of copying cronwrapper, can't I just edit cronwrapper directly and keep the linked file that the installer puts in /etc/cron.daily/?
@ChuckPa Also, if the problem is because of how fast an nVME SSD is, why are there no issues when running plexupdate manually (without using cronwrapper)? If the issue is timing, then I would expect that even with a manual update using the deb file, it will also make PMS inaccessible since the restart of PMS is being triggered by the deb package reinstallation itself, no?
If you edit the original it will prevent the auto-update for plexupdate from working (the feature that checks for new versions of plexupdate itself).
I see. Ok, that workaround seems to have worked. Initially, I tried just adding the service restart and it did not work. Adding the sleep solved it. At this point, I think it's a deb package issue that @ChuckPa should take a look at. I agree that the sleep needs to be incorporated in the package itself.
Question:
Should I put a sleep in the package at removal or installation?
Should I make everyone wait 5 seconds?
Is that fair to those not using this script?
This is your automation. Respectfully submit that you need manage how it interacts with the host.
Solution would be to put the sleep in THIS script and forget it.
@ChuckPa ok, now you're making more sense. Sorry, I will let the devs of this script and you communicate as I'm obviously a Linux noob and my opinion is of less importance as to where the sleep is really needed.
You folks have communicated the issue.
It's been shown that a sleep between stop and restart is needed (highly host performance dependent).
In all regards, how the script devs wish it resolved is their decision.
I'm stepping out of this thread. I can be reached in the forums if needed further.
We don't handle the stop and restart unfortunately. That's done entirely in the deb package's postinst which we have no control over.
For the time being, I think you'll just have to stick with the workaround of modifying the cronwrapper for yourself. If more people start running into this in the future it will have to be taken up with upstream so they can troubleshoot further. (While adding a sleep to the postinst would fix it in this case, this seems like a clear case of a race condition in the interactions between Plex and systemd and will end up needing to be addressed there.)
When you say the deb package's postinst, you mean the plex package installer itself, right? Chuck is one of the Plex devs.
Yes, the package that's distributed directly by the Plex team. To Chuck's point, however, I agree that adding a sleep into the postinst isn't the correct way to fix this because it will impact everyone. I believe this is a race condition that is at least partly (if not wholly) involving systemd itself, but so far we have a sample size of 1 unfortunately.
If this is indeed something that's specific to next-gen NVMe drives I expect we'll see a lot more reports of things like this not just for Plex but for lots of other things as well at some point in the future. You just happen to be one of the first to be running into it.
Fair point. I'll stick with the workaround for now and hope that nothing negative happens to my PMS in the long run when the update process is done like this.
I can't imagine there being any ill effects. PMS is pretty resilient about restarts, and this one is a graceful restart so I'd be surprised if you run into any problems. Closing this issue.

sleep 10 systemctl restart plexmediaserver
With this workaround, will plexupdate still update itself?
Yes it will. The cronwrapper won't, but there's very little chance of it being updated anytime soon. So just copy cronwrapper, edit the copy, and you should be good to go.

I see. Yup, that's what I did since the time we were discussing this and I just wondered if the plexupdate.sh script gets updated as it was recently just updated in the repository.
