Cannot access to the homebridge ui after updating 4.0.0 #169

adhrinae · 2025-02-09T02:32:46Z

Describe The Bug

hello.
I just updated to 4.0.0 because there was a new update in the DSM package update, but I think it was a pre-release version.

However, since updating to this version, my homebridge ui url has become unreachable (localhost:8581)

I checked the logs, and I suspect that there was an error in the nest.js server startup.

Model: DS920+
DSM: DSM 7.2.2-72806 Update 3

You can temporarily downgrade to 3.1.3 (or whatever version you want) until they get a fix out:

Uninstall Homebridge from the Package Center
Download the 3.1.3 package: https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-syno-spk/releases/download/3.1.3/homebridge-braswell-3.1.3.spk
Manually install it through the Package Center

NorthernMan54 · 2025-02-09T04:37:16Z

Tks for the feedback, I was trying to update the package this am. And it looks like it has issues

braunsch · 2025-02-09T05:26:40Z

These are the notes as it's just being discovered lol

dbrewood · 2025-02-09T10:24:42Z

Guys if I uninstall 4.0.0 prior to downgrading do I lose all the configuration files, etc? If that is the case I'll hold off on the uninstall and wait on a fix.

filibuster007 · 2025-02-09T10:32:17Z

I downgraded as suggested. Homebridge runs again however the top widget showing the status of available updates is empty. Any suggestions for that?

edit: fixed the widget issue: reinstalled the previous version (homebridge-braswell-3.1.1.spk) and instead of restoring I did a new setup. Confirmed all was fine and did the update of the UI that was available. After that I restored my previous config and all was good again.

One challenge we have is that we do not have access to a synology device to test releases prior to mass release. And do not have a synology sme available. #143

Sorry nope - this fixed the "update information" widget to work again

aday95 · 2025-02-09T14:33:01Z

I have the same issue after upgrading to 4.0.

flareman · 2025-02-09T14:54:22Z

Same here, 4.0.0 stuck in reset loop with the same error message as others have demonstrated.

Initially I logged in via SSH, then did the following:

cd /volume1/@appstore/homebridge/app/lib/node_modules/homebridge-config-ui-x
sudo npm install reflect-metadata
sudo npm uninstall -g homebridge-config-ui-x
sudo npm install -g homebridge-config-ui-x

The last command faulted out reporting npm ERR! File exists: /usr/local/bin/hb-service, but did work after stopping the service from within DSM.

I finally set proper permissions:

sudo chown -R homebridge:homebridge /volume1/@appstore/homebridge
sudo chmod -R 755 /volume1/@appstore/homebridge

All of this has the result of allowing homebridge to start up normally and allow me to log in the web UI, but the instance reported not being paired to HK (which obviously was not the case), while attempting to add it anew resulted in a message that the accessory was already added - and indeed, it was. The accessories in HK were all reported as not responding as well.

Eventually, I had to uninstall v4.0.0 and manually reinstall 3.1.3 as others have suggested. The not responding errors did not resolve until after restoring from a backup, but the Update Information widget was coming up empty. Unlocking the web UI home screen and resetting it did the trick, and the setup is working again.

TL;DR: Can jimmy 4.0.0 into working, but the pairing with HK doesn't. Had to manually downgrade, waiting for a fix.

How did you unlock the webui home screen, to make the update information widget load again?

flareman · 2025-02-09T16:06:57Z

How did you unlock the webui home screen, to make the update information widget load again?

Using the two lock/unlock buttons on the top right of the UI. Clicking the eye icon opens up a menu with several possible widgets and a reset button.

sverspecht · 2025-02-09T20:44:07Z

Same for me.

I was in DSM 7.1 with an old nodejs 18 and wanted to make a full update today... No luck.
I'll try now to downgrade as proposed by @cdolle to keep my WAF ;)

mattleiphamellis · 2025-02-09T21:43:28Z

I reverted to 3.1.3 and will wait for a re-release of the updated package, but several affected users had success installing "reflect-metadata" in the /homebridge/app/lib/node_modules/homebridge-config-ui-x directory. See the related reddit discussion:

dbrewood · 2025-02-10T12:08:44Z

I eventually used the Reddit link and steps to get me up and running again (phew).....

However on logging into Homebridge I'm informed that:

Node update needs updating: v20.9.0 → v20.18.2
Homebridge UL needs updating to 4.7.0
Numerous plugins need updating

So is it safe to do these updates?

pierre-henri-guillot · 2025-02-10T18:38:20Z

Hello

Node is updated by Synology. You can do it with terminal but not needed. It always warn for new version
UI you can do it safely
Plugins : yes you can

TheCableGuy99 · 2025-02-11T04:23:50Z

Just to confirm I've done a complete fresh install (removed the package and homebridge directory), reinstalled the 4.0.1 pre-release. Everything came online first time with no tinkering, restored from backup and everything working as should. Thank you!

TechDadUK · 2025-02-11T19:17:24Z

Hi all,

I wanted to share my feedback, like all my HB tanked on Sunday when going to V4.0.0.

I had not completed any manual steps to uninstall or rollback to V3. I just stopped the service until I had time to look at it.

I manually downloaded V4.0.1 beta then triggered a manual update, restarted the service and HB is back fully working.

So from my prospective V4.0.1 beta is a winner and HB runs on V4.

Biffothebear666 · 2025-02-11T21:28:34Z

Likewise, a manual install of 4.01 and all is working fine

Homebridge v2.0.0-beta.27
Homebridge UI v4.71.0
Node.js v20.9.0
DSM 7.2.2-72806 Update 3

NorthernMan54 · 2025-02-11T23:07:17Z

You can update Homebridge but Node.js won't update, that's a Synology package they have to release which they haven't as yet. I've moved to the Docker version now as it adds support for everything needed. This doesn't pose a problem but could avoid potential issues in the future. You can hide the node.js update notification from the gear icon on the widget.

dbrewood · 2025-02-12T10:19:28Z

Thanks I'll wait on the Node.js update from Synology coming through.

TechDadUK · 2025-02-12T10:39:43Z

Tks for the feedback on 4.0.1, just published as latest

Thank you for your work on this, really appreciate you getting an updated version out so quickly, thank you.
