Fresh MAAS 3.2 install failed to find controller

[maeln]

Hi.
I installed a fresh 3.2 MAAS using the doc here : MAAS | Fresh installation of MAAS
MAAS was successfully installed, but it seems that there is a bug because my “Controllers” page is empty, even though the rack controller is running on the same node.

(it says Loading forever)

This is preventing me from going futher in my deployement. Do you know how to solve this ?

Everything (postgres, all maas services) is running on the same node which as an ip of 192.168.30.1.
Using the CLI ( maas $PROFILE rack-controllers read | grep hostname | cut -d '"' -f 4 ) does return the name of the node.

EDIT: The install was done on ubuntu server 22.04, with snap

The controller node seem to be registered in the DNS but when I click on its name, I am redirected to an empty controller page:

[mquick]

tail this log file (tail -f /var/snap/maas/common/log/regiond.log) and press hard refresh (ctrl F5) on the controller page. interested to see if you have the same error as I do. **see recent post Controllers not displaying servers after update 3.2.1

Yeah it is the same issue … The logs:

We should do a bug report on launchpad

[maeln]

While this is not a solution, downgrading to MAAS 3.1 worked for me as a temporary work-around.

[mquick]

I might be able to go back to 3.2 (from 3.2.1) but not sure if I can fully downgrade to 3.1 if there were DB changes. Bug sounds like a good start

[Dragnell87]

This also happen in 20.04 on snap and regular package, using the ppa.

[Dragnell87]

did you file the bug report ?

[maeln]

I am overloaded with work (in part due to this bug delayed some stuff I gotta do ) so I didn’t have time atm.

EDIT: I saw that you created the BR, thanks

[rafise]

You need to add the controller.

sudo maas init rack --maas-url $MAAS_URL_OF_NEW_MAAS --secret $SECRET_FOR_NEW_MAAS

where the secret is found in /var/snap/maas/common/maas/secret.

[rafise]

Let me guess if you are using ubuntu 22.04 and mass 3.2, don’t use 22.04, use 20.04 instead will solve your problem.

[alexsander-souza]

This should be fixed in MAAS 3.2.2. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

[maeln]

It happens to the best of us
