Generating relay credentials failed

JanMalte · January 12, 2021, 12:13pm

I was running install.sh after removing the credentials.json and the following error is logged

Generating Relay credentials...
Creating sentry_onpremise_relay_run ... 
Creating sentry_onpremise_relay_run ... done
An error occurred, caught SIGERR on line 324
Cleaning up...

The files only contains the error message and not a valid JSON object
root@basecamp /srv/sentry # cat relay/credentials.json

error: could not parse json config file (file /work/.relay/credentials.json)
  caused by: EOF while parsing a value at line 1 column 0

I removed the credentials as suggested here:

Removing the invalid credentials.json file and running the command to generate the credentials (Install.sh fails if relay/credentials.json not exist · Issue #476 · getsentry/self-hosted · GitHub) fails with the following message:

root@basecamp /srv/sentry # docker-compose run --no-deps -v $(pwd)/relay/config.yml:/tmp/config.yml relay credentials generate --stdout

You are missing a very important parameter: --config /tmp which tells relay where to look for its config. See our install script code for this:

github.com

getsentry/onpremise/blob/e7ec11aa3b7ca7aecb741d568837140756b195e7/install.sh#L327


if [[ ! -f "$RELAY_CREDENTIALS_JSON" ]]; then
  echo ""
  echo "Generating Relay credentials..."
  # We need the ugly hack below as `relay generate credentials` tries to read the config and the credentials
  # even with the `--stdout` and `--overwrite` flags and then errors out when the credentials file exists but
  # not valid JSON. We hit this case as we redirect output to the same config folder, creating an empty
  # credentials file before relay runs.
  $dcr --no-deps -v $(pwd)/$RELAY_CONFIG_YML:/tmp/config.yml relay --config /tmp credentials generate --stdout > "$RELAY_CREDENTIALS_JSON"
  echo "Relay credentials written to $RELAY_CREDENTIALS_JSON"
fi
./install/geoip.sh
if [[ "$MINIMIZE_DOWNTIME" ]]; then
  # Start the whole setup, except nginx and relay.
  $dc up -d --remove-orphans $($dc config --services | grep -v -E '^(nginx|relay)$')
