Fresh install fails on ubuntu 22.04 with v69b in migrate.py

[Pete]

I’m sure this is most likely something I’m doing, but following the basic install instructions it fails in migrate.py:

curl https://mailinabox.email/setup.sh | sudo bash
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/root/mailinabox/setup/migrate.py", line 227, in run_migrations
    ourver = int(migration_id)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

Is this just me?

Try

curl -s https://mailinabox.email/setup.sh | sudo -E bash

The tiny details sometimes matter

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the response!

Tried adding the -E, but no difference I’m afraid:

curl -s https://mailinabox.email/setup.sh | sudo -E bash

    ourver = int(migration_id)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

Also in my defence, the comment block at the top of the bootstrap.sh file doesn’t have the -E

Solved it, this was caused by an empty file at /home/user-data/mailinabox.version. Not sure how that got there, but it will have been me faffing that caused it I’m sure.

Looking in migrate.py, lines 217 and 222 check for None but not for an empty string or non-numeric string.
