OttoFMS stops running after update (sometimes)

OttoFMS
1

This intermittently affects random servers of ours, and requires a clean install and sometimes a re-enabling of the systemctl.
Using test-server as an example, the OttoFMS endpoint ran fine before running an update.

The last command ran on this server was

sudo curl -sSL "https://appupdates.proofgeist.com/ottofms/install-scripts/install-linux.sh" | bash

The update was performed at 13:30

  1. otto-info.log says
2025-03-11T07:03:32.767Z	info	Sending backup to offsite otto-offsite: otto-offsite:testfiles/test_server/dbs
2025-03-11T07:13:44.246Z	info	Sending backup complete. 2522 files, totalling 21.42 GB, sent in 611.2 seconds
  1. otto-error.log has no entries for todays date.
    FileMaker\ Server/Data/Backups shows an FMS backup Hourly_2025-03-11_1330, which could be an issue.
  2. dpkg -l | grep ottofms-app returns nothing
  3. When running sudo systemctl start ottofms-proofgeist-com.service, I get either:
  • Failed to start ottofms-proofgeist-com.service: Unit ottofms-proofgeist-co.service not found.
  • Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of ottofms-proofgeist-com.service changed on disk. Run ‘systemctl daemon-reload’ to reload units.
  1. Adding because this may be relevant, I’m performing these update en masse with a python/expect script, snippet of pseudoish-code below. I can provide more code if it’s important.
for server in server_list:
    subprocess.check_call(f"./otto.sh '{server}'", shell=True)

#otto.sh
spawn ssh "$sshUSR@$SERVER"
expect "$ "
send "sudo curl -sSL "https://appupdates.proofgeist.com/ottofms/install-scripts/install-linux.sh" | bash\r"
