Issue with Geth not gracefully shutting down from dappnode

Technical Support

Hello all,
I’m running the pause function to shutdown geth from http://my.dappnode. The client is fully synced. Looking at the logs, I don’t get all the messages about successful shutdown. After starting geth from the same menu. I get this error and it starts resyncing from two days ago.

Looking through github geth issues, others suggest 30 to 60 seconds for a timeout with docker. The “packages/dappmanager/src/calls/packageStartStop.ts” timeout is set to 10 seconds. Would it make sense to increase that to cover the extended time needed to gracefully shutdown geth?

Great news. Thanks for the update.
For those wanting an interim solution.
If you login to the dappnode box via terminal or SSH.
“docker ps” to get container ID for Geth.
Then" docker stop -t 60 ID"
