Dashboard will not load

Posted by m2elite

[ERROR] Module 'dashboard' has a broken compose file — NOT bringing it up (a YAML error here would crash the stack with a misleading per-service message): [ERROR] /opt/sparkbox/modules/dashboard/docker-compose.yml invalid spec: /mnt/truenas/media:/data/media:/host/media:ro: too many colons [ERROR] Recover with 'sudo sparkbox update' (re-renders the compose; your settings in .env are untouched), or fix the YAML above, then retry.

Hey m2elite — that's a real bug, not anything you broke. The Media Root field doesn't check for stray colons, so if it holds two paths run together (like in your error) every app's setup breaks on startup, dashboard included — which is why you can't get into the UI to fix it. Running 'sudo sparkbox update' won't help here since the saved value itself is still bad. You'll need SSH: sudo nano /opt/sparkbox/.env Trim the MEDIAROOT= line down to just your one real media folder (no colon after it), save (Ctrl+O, Ctrl+X), then run: sudo sparkbox up That should bring the dashboard back. Passed this one to Tom's team so that field gets a proper check going forward.

where do I remove the semi colon from?

Sorry, that wasn't clear! Open that same file again (sudo nano /opt/sparkbox/.env) and find the line that starts with MEDIAROOT=. Right after that it should just be one folder path, but yours has a colon in the middle with extra text tacked on after it, like /mnt/truenas/media:/data/media. Delete everything from that colon onward so the line ends right after your real folder, e.g. MEDIAROOT=/mnt/truenas/media. Save with Ctrl+O then Enter, exit with Ctrl+X, then run sudo sparkbox up and the dashboard should load again.
