Connecting.... Error: No Connection with that ID: Status code '404'

[odombrovska]

We had smtp4dev running in a Docker container in our k8s cluster for like 6 months or so, no issues. For some reason now in the UI I see it erroring:

We had 3.1.4, so I decided to give it an update and bumped it to 3.4.0 thinking that will resolve it - no luck.

In the logs of the container itself I don't see anything suspicious:

I can see messages get received and processed in the logs. I don't see a single message in the UI though, it just throws the errors above, indicating that there's a connection problem of some sort.
I've no idea what it might want to function properly again. We didn't introduce anything networking-wise etc, so any suggestion would be appreciated! Thanks.

If you know how, can you hit F12 and see what response the call to /api/messages is getting. The error above just means that your client terminated the connection without politely QUITing first. Nothing to worry about (maybe we should reconsider this being shown unless connection is dropped mid transaction).

Hi, here you go, both /api/messages and the failing one:

There are no messages displayed in the UI, so that is a bit worrisome to me, cause before we were able to see them.

[rnwood]

Looks like you are running at /smtp. Are you using the smtp4dev basepath option for this or is a reverse proxy rewriting? The notifications 404 looks wrong, but that only drives the auto refresh and you should have an error showing in the header about this. Can you confirm if you see the messages if you refresh manually?

I don't see the messages when refreshing manually.

These are the only env variables I supply to the container:

        - name: ServerOptions__Hostname
          value: abc.xyz.net
        - name: ServerOptions__BasePath
          value: /smtp
        - name: ServerOptions__Port
          value: "25"
        - name: ServerOptions__NumberOfMessagesToKeep
          value: "50"
        - name: ServerOptions__NumberOfSessionsToKeep
          value: "50"

And here are ingress and service that expose the UI and make port 25 available for the server, just for reference:

I can see a bunch of sessions in the 'Sessions' tab as well as some messages info, but the messages never appear in the 'Messages' tab itself:

[rnwood]

This is the Windows container image I believe? (based on seeing c:\).

Is there just a single instance/replica of this container or are you running more than one?

[odombrovska]

Just a single replica, and yes, it's a Windows image
