Description Michael Wermeester 2015-08-23 17:35:02 UTC
Description of problem:
When the Prosody service is set to autostart, the service starts before the network interfaces are up/ready. This results in outgoing Prosody network connections to fail. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Arch        : x86_64
Epoch       : 0
Version     : 0.9.8
Release     : 4.fc22

How reproducible:
Often or always. (Always in my case, tested on different servers and setups)

Steps to Reproduce:
- Install prosody (dnf install prosody)
- Add a virtual host in /etc/prosody/conf.d
- Set prosody to autostart: systemctl enable prosody
- reboot the system: shutdown -r now

Actual results:
Warning appearing in /var/log/prosody/prosody.log:

>> Aug 23 16:40:13 mod_s2s	warn	No local IPv4 or IPv6 addresses detected, outgoing connections may fail

Indeed, outgoing s2s connections are not working. 

Expected results:

Outgoing s2s connections should work as expected and the warning should not appear in the /var/log/prosody/prosody.log file. 

Additional info:

The problem does not occur when starting prosody manually via "systemctl start prosody.service" when the network interfaces are up. 

One possible way to fix this problem is to change "After=network.target" to "After=network-online.target" in the the file /usr/lib/systemd/system/prosody.service.

With this change, Prosody starts up fine (without the warning) and s2s connections work as expected.

Thank you for your report and the analysis. I contacted upstream for an
opinion regarding this while I consider your suggestion as the way to go.

Comment 3 Matthew Wild (MattJ) 2015-08-28 13:07:47 UTC
Upstream here.

Haven't seen this before, though it makes sense that it would happen if Prosody is started before networking is up.

Based on this, there are a couple of changes we are considering:

  - Delaying this check until the first outgoing s2s connection is attempted

  - Re-scanning local interfaces on SIGHUP

However regardless of these potential changes, I don't think it makes any sense to start a network service daemon when there is no network available. As systemd supports this, I think it's entirely sensible to make the proposed change to prosody.service.

Comment 16 Sébastien Gendre 2017-02-25 15:48:28 UTC
I have the same problem.
With After=network-online.target in usr/lib/systemd/system/prosody.service.

Comment 17 Robert Scheck 2017-02-25 16:22:18 UTC
Sébastien, which version of Prosody do you use exactly? And what does
"rpm -q prosody" say?

Comment 18 Sébastien Gendre 2017-02-25 16:25:23 UTC
$ rpm -q prosody
prosody-0.9.12-1.fc25.x86_64

Comment 19 Robert Scheck 2017-02-25 16:43:33 UTC
"systemctl cat prosody.service" should contain "After=network-online.target",
which was the scope of this bug report.

Comment 20 Sébastien Gendre 2017-02-25 16:45:08 UTC
$ systemctl cat prosody.service 
# /usr/lib/systemd/system/prosody.service

Comment 21 Robert Scheck 2017-02-25 21:29:07 UTC
So "After=network-online.target" exists, which is a point where the network
should be working. Can you describe your network setup? Currently, I am more
tempted to say that this is likely to be a network misconfiguration.
