Since switching to mineos-node I find every few days all or most of the servers go offline
In their server logs they report the following:
[18:10:28] [Server console handler/ERROR]: Exception handling console input java.io.IOException: Input/output error at java.io.FileInputStream.readBytes(Native Method) ~[?:1.7.0_79] at java.io.FileInputStream.read(FileInputStream.java:272) ~[?:1.7.0_79] at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read1(BufferedInputStream.java:273) ~[?:1.7.0_79] at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read(BufferedInputStream.java:334) ~[?:1.7.0_79] at sun.nio.cs.StreamDecoder.readBytes(StreamDecoder.java:283) ~[?:1.7.0_79] at sun.nio.cs.StreamDecoder.implRead(StreamDecoder.java:325) ~[?:1.7.0_79] at sun.nio.cs.StreamDecoder.read(StreamDecoder.java:177) ~[?:1.7.0_79] at java.io.InputStreamReader.read(InputStreamReader.java:184) ~[?:1.7.0_79] at java.io.BufferedReader.fill(BufferedReader.java:154) ~[?:1.7.0_79] at java.io.BufferedReader.readLine(BufferedReader.java:317) ~[?:1.7.0_79] at java.io.BufferedReader.readLine(BufferedReader.java:382) ~[?:1.7.0_79] at net.minecraft.server.dedicated.DedicatedServer$2.run(DedicatedServer.java:97) [pq.class:?]
anyone any ideas?
of course it might be nothing to do with mineos but Ubuntu that it’s running on
Are there users other than yourself who log in to the webui?
Based on the error, it’s crashing based on something being sent to the console–which MineOS does. So the question is determining what is being sent when these things crash.
Are there indications of any user activity in the seconds leading up to the error?
MineOS doesn’t send any commands to the console except those that are scheduled. So are you scheduling a backup, for example? Or an archive? Both of these receive save-off and save-all commands prior to being backed up and archived. So is there a pattern between the crashes and either of these actions?
Only one webui user (yes I hear that bus coming)
It seems to fall over at random times when I’m not logged into web ui
One clue though - I have scheduled archive create but it’s not working. Timing doesn’t seem related though as the cron entry for archive is “0 2 * * *” i.e. daily at 2am but the error above was at 18:00
If that archive was being started should I see anything from the save-off/save-all in the minecraft logs? (forge server)
My *nix skills are rusty - I missed this - the mineos service is exiting and restarting
Marking the servers as start on boot largely mitigates this, but my poor little box still has something wrong
not sure if this is it dying or starting back up again

Most of these bugs are probably historical; i.e. fixed in earlier versions of Java. (But then you didn’t clearly specify which version you were talking about. How recent? Usual for who?). In addition to the reported bugs, there probably lots of ways that you could cause these errors to occur if you were prepared to interfere with the Java installation (e.g. tweak the “rt.jar” file) or mess around in native code. More about…Java Exceptions
They’re definitely historical. v.0.10 of NodeJS is so old, it cannot be expected to work with the multitude of NPM modules that MineOS (and NodeJS in general) depend on.
