An issue was that mail container was not getting refreshed with the up to
date certs. The root cause is that it is refreshed only in the renewCerts()
cron job. If cert renewal was caused by an app task, then the cron job will
skip the restart (since cert is fresh).
The other issue is that we keep hitting 0 length certs when we run out of disk
space. The root cause is that when out of disk space, a cert renewal will
cause cert to be written but since it has no space it is 0 length. Then, when
the user tries to restart the server, the box code does not write the cert again.
This change fixes the above two including:
* To simplify, we use the fallback cert only if we failed to get a LE cert. Expired LE certs
will continue to be used. nginx is fine with this.
* restart directory as well on renewal
Previously, the du plugin was collecting data every 20 seconds but
carbon was configured to only keep data every 12 hours causing much
confusion.
In the process of reworking this, it was determined:
* No need to collect disk usage info over time. Not sure how that is useful
* Instead, collect CPU/Network/Block info over time. We get this now from docker stats
* We also collect info about the services (addon containers)
* No need to reconfigure collectd for each app change anymore since there is no per
app collectd configuration anymore.
the main motivation is that id can be used in REST API routes. previously,
the id was a path and this had a "/" in it. This made /api/v1/backups/:backupId
not work.
Various notes on mounting:
* The permissions come from the mounted file system and not the mount point.
This means that if we change the perms before mounting, it is overridden by
whatever is in the actual file system.
* uid/gid only works for permission-less file systems
SFTP container notes:
* Assumes that nothing changed if the host path hasn't changed. This means that
if a user changes the disk uuid, reload doesn't work.
* Not sure how/why, but even after unmounting the container can still access the old
mount files (!). With ext4 on disk change or nfs after root path change, the file manager
continues to be able to access the old mounts (despite umount succeeding).
All this led to following changes:
* Remove editing of volumes. Just allow editing username/password.
* edit UI then just also provides a way to re-mount.
* Change mode of mountpoint to be 777 post mounting for ease of use. Otherwise, we have to
make the user do this by ssh. this can always become options later.
