CumulusMX refuses to open port.

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

CumulusMX refuses to open port.

Post by ConligWX »

So the other day I update my Intel NUC running ubuntu 22.04.1LTS which is home to my CumulusMX install.

packages that updated:

Code: Select all

Start-Date: 2022-10-31  21:51:38
Commandline: apt upgrade
Install: python3-magic:amd64 (2:0.4.24-2, automatic)

End-Date: 2022-10-31  21:52:46
since then - as far as I can tell - CumulusMX has no webgui on port 8998 or any I define. tried numberous devices to access the webport but nothing was showing in any browser i used.

Cumulusmx is running as a service and working without any intervention, just I cannot access the webgui.

My intel NUC is headless (no keyboard or mouse or screen) and has always worked fine until now. I have tried starting cumulus service with different ports but is just never opens the port for listening on.

There is no firewall. but see below no 8998 port is open or listening.

CumulusMX (3.22.2-b3213)

not sure if anyone can suggest anything else or understand why cumulusMX would not open the 8998 port (by default) or any other that is defined.

looks like I'll be rebuilding the NUC over the weekend since I have no clue as to what is happening and its the only thing I can think of doing :roll: .


could someone post their output from a linux box running cumulusmx from this command just to confirm you see a port 8998 listening?

thanks at least i can see a port 8998 in use. think its down to a rebuild then. I cannot say for certain the apt upgrade broken it, but mono was not upgraded, and cant see why port 8998 is not open.

Have you rebooted since the update? I see you had some firmware update updates in there...

yes done numerous things and was chatting with a few friends who both posted their outputs too.

Code: Select all

mono       1024     root    9u  IPv6    23876      0t0  TCP *:8998 (LISTEN)
yours was similar.

IPv6 was the thing that stuck out for me.

I have had ipv6 disabled from years ago. never used it, but always disabled. I just reenable it (though took some time in how I had disabled prior to this)

it now works!

why I have no idea, it seems pretty stupid that I am accessing an IPv4 address to the cumulusMX box but I have to have IPv6 enabled on the CumulusMX box for it to work!

if anyone has a similar problem then this worked for me.

Code: Select all

Edit /etc/default/grub 
Change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="ipv6.disable=1" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="ipv6.disable=0" and save the file.
Update Grub by running: sudo update-grub2
Reboot the PC

you may also need to do:

Execute:sudo sh -c "echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6" 
Reboot once more and you are done.

IPv6 type with an IPv4 address - weird! I can't assign an IPv6 on my database server because MX running in mono refused to connect to it - well, that was the case a year or so ago, I haven't tried recently. Mono can be a bit odd!

Here are the relevant items from my system. I run three instances of CMX (on ports 8998, 9889, 9898) and all are IP6 connections.
System is a PI4 BULLSEYE with MONO V 6.12.0.182

Yeah I use IPv6 too. My point was that MX running under mono won't connect to my DB server if that has an IPv6 address. No issues at all connecting to MX interface through an IPv6 connection.

Thanks for the posts guys I’m guessing something in the Linux kernel firmware update changed and having ipv6 disabled blocked mono from opening the 8998 port.

Still seems weird for years it worked with just ipv4 only however. Mono itself was not updated so it must have been another program that broken the sequence.

I think this is down to what is known as "Dual Mode Sockets" from what I have gathered and discussed with a friend of mine. not sure how my CumulusMX box changed the ipv4 to ipv6 scenario after an update which mono was not updated, but something changed none the less.

more info here: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/d ... ket-again/

I maybe barking up the wrong tree, but I dont really understand most of it. its all above my pay grade :lol:

I've now moved to mono 6.12.0 Stable for now.

Thanks Simon, that is useful.

Good idea to upgrade Mono as you did, as the email function in MX requires > 6.8 now. You likely don't use it anyway, otherwise you would've noticed before now :lol:

It's very likely that the behaviour of the OS function that Mono uses to get a socket has changed with the recent Linux changes. So many use dual IP stack these days that it may have become the default behaviour to expect both IPv4 and IPv6.

I'll see if I can find the code for the HTTP server version that CMX is currently using.

The latest .Net builds just bind to the IPv6 interface if it is available - and this automagically also enables IPv4 if it is enabled on the host.

CMX is using the .Net Framework builds which I believe work a bit differently (and with more complexity) behind the scenes.
