Network change: CumulusMX Service dead

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).

Network change: CumulusMX Service dead

Post by FredsterNL »

Hi all,

I've had CumulusMX running for a while, converted to a service.

Recently I configured my network to use a new IP range, and my weather station and CumulusMX both received a new IP.

Unfortunately, my Cumulus service starts, but also stops. Requesting a status for the service confirms: CumulusMX.service inactive (dead).

I can't for my life find where I can change the IP in CumulusMX (service) to point it to the new IP address of my weather station.

Any idea where I can find and change that setting (I can't get to the GUI as the service dies) :shock:

Any help is greatly appreciated!

As far as I am aware the IP address of the CumulusMX is not part of the service set up. The port is i.e. 8998 but other than that your browser is just directed to the IP address via the http setting i.e. http://192.168.0.94:8998/index.html

I think you have a different problem, so I suggest with CumulusMX down you edit Cumulus.ini and alter Logging=0 to 1 and Datalogging=0 to 1 which will put more information into the logging files. Then start it up and see what additional information is in the logs.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer, but it isn't CumulusMX that is the problem indeed:

My weather station has a new IP address:

I changed the IP address in CumulusMX.ini, but that doesn't help...

Do I need to change something in the CumulusMX service maybe?

Did you try setting logging on as this will give better information as to what is going on. As I said the service does not have IP addresses in it, it is a means of calling the CumulusMX executable on start up and setting up the correct port (default 8998).

Hi,

Yes I did change the logging.

The website actually runs and gets data from the station, but on the 2nd itteration 5 minutes later it dies (and the webpage with it :shock: )

Below the log file that is created (Yeah, crappy weather here ;) )

(EDIT: The station is still online and delivering live data to ecowitt.net)

Well it exits because it stops getting data from your weather station.

In the log it says
2023-03-09 12:04:45.944 WS Client Disconnected: ::ffff:x.x.x.53, Total clients: 0

I notice you are not using the latest version and in that version Mark has fixed a problem with Ecowitt disconnects
Ecowitt Local API failing to reconnect after network outage
Not sure if that is the problem but it is worth a try.

Hi David,

I had seen a new version being available, but figured I first had to fix the issue...

Never occurred to me that a fix could be in the update, lol...

Will upgrade and report back...

Thanks

As you are using the "HTTP (Ecowitt)" station type, the IP configuration is done at the "other end". You must change the Custom Server configuration on your weather station to point to the new IP address that the CMX host is using.

Hi,

I tried all suggestions including (IP address change and upgrade), but all failed

Odd behaviour was that it would get one set of data and then it stopped.

As I had also forced an update of 2 'kept back' packages (Python3 related) I wondered if that would be a cause (no idea if Mono or Cumulus use Python3?!?)

As I had made a timeshift backup from cmdline before doing the forced upgrade of the 'kept back' packages, I tried a rollback to that backup, which made things worse: kernal panics etc.

Gotta find a decent backup tool for Ubuntu Linux on a Pi4B, as timeshift was not a success :groan:

Anyway, am in the process of reinstalling everything from scratch, I will use the newest release of CumulusMX dated the 11th...

What would be really cool if CumulusMX had an optional feature to auto-update (with rollback) possibilities... Having said that, the tool HansR made, is easy enough...

Any suggestions for a good backup tool are welcome (I am not running from an SD card, otherwise I would make an ISO before any upgrades. My Pi4B is running from a m.2 in an ArgonOne case)

Well, thanks for the compliment but indeed that is not for a backup. If you are looking for a backup script (bash) which can backup (zip) the whole CumulusMX tree to your NAS (or probably any machine on the network) I could post it. But without support i.e. you must understand bash.

In never saw any use in backing up the whole system because re-installing Linux/Unix usually gives a good fresh look on things.

I'm and have been using BackupPC for some years now.
PS
My upgrade actions as user pi

Code: Select all

cd
mkdir -p CumulusMX_nnnn
sudo rsync -av --delete CumulusMX/ CumulusMX_nnnn/
Stop CumulusMX
sudo rsync -av --delete CumulusMX/ CumulusMX_nnnn/
unzip -o CumulusMXDistnnnn.zip
Start CumulusMX
Fairly easy to regress if needed ;)
