Sonarr remains inactive, after fix isn't reachable through reverse proxy

[ismay]

The problem

I restarted sonarr from the sonarr web interface. It went down but never came back up. After waiting for a while, I reinstalled it (keeping configuration settings), still remains inactive. Then I reinstalled without keeping configuration settings, still inactive.

When reinstalling the logs are:

When trying to run the start command for sonarr manually (/usr/bin/mono /opt/NzbDrone/NzbDrone.exe -nobrowser) the error is:

Cannot open assembly '/opt/NzbDrone/NzbDrone.exe': No such file or directory.

Checking /opt with ls -l /opt:

So it's not there. Attempting a manual install with sudo apt-get install nzbdrone:

Reading package lists... Done

E: Unable to locate package nzbdrone

Manually installed and restarted it with:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys FDA5DFFC
sudo echo "deb http://apt.sonarr.tv/ master main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sonarr.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nzbdrone 

On reboot it now starts as expected, but still isn't accessible from another computer. Running access details from atk yields:

Any idea why other local devices cannot connect to the service? Other services on the same device, like radarr and nzbget can be reached without problems.

My Linux distribution and version is:

Ubuntu Server 16.04.4 LTS

I'm seeing this behaviour on:

• Was working now broken

I'm not a dummy, so I've checked these!

• I'm using the latest version of AtoMiC-ToolKit
• All my Linux distro packages are up to date and I don't see any errors while updating.
• I've checked there are no current open issues relating to my problem!

I tried tunneling over ssh to the media server ssh [email protected] -L 8989:127.0.0.1:8989 and then accessing it via localhost:8989, that yields:

channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused

So whilst sonarr is running, the webserver is refusing to connect on port 8989. So does sonarr spawn its own webserver? Or is atk responsible for that?

Ok, so the sonarr database was corrupted. After restoring to another backup it works as expected.

So while that's not got anything to do with atk, other parts in the process (such as having to manually install nzbdrone) should probably be caught by atk. So my particular issue was resolved, but hopefully atk could catch some of these things automatically in the future. Hope this helps!
