Description:

After updating to unrealircd 6 (coming from 5), it does not start, because /build/unrealircd/data/unrealircd.ctl is missing. See journalctl message below.
I did every adaption of config mentioned here https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Upgrading_from_5.x
It seems to be a problem with the package though.

Mar 15 08:41:02 system unrealircd[729101]: [error] Warning: TLS certificate '/etc/unrealircd/tls/server.cert.pem': certificate expired 1482d13h45m25s ago

Mar 15 08:41:02 system systemd[1]: unrealircd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Mar 15 08:41:02 system systemd[1]: Failed to start IRC daemon.

Additional info:
* unrealircd 6.0.2-1
* config quite similar to default, but not default and moved from 5

Steps to reproduce:

* upgrado to unrealircd 6.0.2-1 from 5
* systemctl start unrealircd
This task depends upon

What if you rebuild the package the attached diff applied? The relevant change is the addition of --with-controlfile [1].
The other changes add system libraries.

Yes, that is it. The flag sounds reasonable and works fine, I just tested it successfully.

I have the same issue. Not sure how to apply the patch so I just created `/build/unrealircd/data/unrealircd.ctl` and it started up. 🤷‍♂️

I just upgraded to unrealircd 6.0.4.1-1 and this problem still occurs. Nick's method - creating that hard-coded folder (owned by the ircd user) - works but it's messy. Fixing the package would be much cleaner...

can it be reproduced with unrealircd-6.0.5-2?
Comment by loqs (loqs) - Friday, 06 January 2023, 17:40 GMT
If the control socket is placed in /run/unrealircd/ rather than /var/lib/unrealircd/ then it could be automatically cleaned up by systemd, see attached diff.
