Sometimes systemctl restart caddy yelds timeout

1. The problem I’m having:

I’m writing a custom log within caddy and, in order to rotate it, I need to restart the daemon daily (which I have configured in a logrotate file using systemctl restart caddy.service).

However, every once in a while the start part times out (even when the daemon is starting) and systemd kills the recently started caddy.

If you check the log below, at 00:01:26 systemd starts stopping caddy, and by 00:01:29 it succeeds and starts starting caddy.

Caddy actually starts and by 00:01:31 it is already handling requests.

However, systemd doesn’t seem to acknowledge this and, by 00:02:59 (90 seconds after it started) it says that the start operation timed out and sends a SIGTERM. Even when caddy does acknowledge this and shuts down, systemd doesn’t detect this and sends a SIGKILL.

Looks like systemd is loosing track of the controlled caddy process.

2. Error messages and/or full log output:

3. Caddy version:

v2.6.4 h1:2hwYqiRwk1tf3VruhMpLcYTg+11fCdr8S3jhNAdnPy8=

4. How I installed and ran Caddy:

sudo apt-get install caddy

Plus, I added the transform-encoder module using caddy add-package

a. System environment:

Debian 11 running in a proxmox VM.

systemd version 247.3-7+deb11u2

b. Command:

sudo systemctl start caddy.service

Actually, this daily process is triggered by the following logrotate configuration:

# Este archivo debe ir en /etc/logrotate.d
#
/var/log/caddy/analisis.log {
    daily
    rotate 60
    compress
    delaycompress
    missingok
    notifempty
    create 0640 caddy caddy
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        sudo systemctl restart caddy.service
        caddylog_404_error_report.sh /var/log/caddy/analisis.log.1 /var/log/caddy/reportes
    endscript
}

5. Links to relevant resources:

That’s quite an old version. Please upgrade to the latest version, v2.7.6. It might resolve your issue. If not, we can dig deeper afterwards.

Thanx for your answer.

I just upgraded my two caddy boxes.

Incidentally, I also made a couple of changes to the caddy systemd service unit via sudo systemctl edit caddy.service, I added the following lines:

[Service]
TimeoutStartSec=180s
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10s

The first one extends the timeout for the start operation to 3 minutes (instead of the default 90 seconds), and the other two hopefully will try to restart the daemon again if it fails (or if it keeps suiciding every now and then).

Keep in mind we advise restarting only in the case of certain exit codes:

See Keep Caddy Running — Caddy Documentation, we document the proper way to set up restarts here.

Excellent. I just added the RestartPreventExitStatus=1 in the systemd unit definition override.

Thanx a lot for your help
