clearing Junk and Trash - error

ajnadox

Hi!
I´ve been running/clearing Junk and Trash from mailboxes with guide from
https://docs.mailcow.email/manual-guides/Dovecot/u_e-dovecot-expunge/ before but i did run a “./update.sh” 1.5/2 week ago and after that i just get an error (tested with both docker compose (Plugin) and docker-compose (Standalone) same error:

root@mail:/opt/mailcow-dockerized# docker-compose exec dovecot-mailcow doveadm expunge -A mailbox 'Junk' savedbefore 7d
Error: auth-master: userdb list: connect(/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) failed: No such file or directory
Panic: file auth-master.c: line 436 (auth_master_unset_io): assertion failed: (conn->to == NULL)

root@mail:/opt/mailcow-dockerized# docker compose exec dovecot-mailcow doveadm expunge -A mailbox 'Junk' savedbefore 7d
Error: auth-master: userdb list: connect(/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) failed: No such file or directory
Panic: file auth-master.c: line 436 (auth_master_unset_io): assertion failed: (conn->to == NULL)

Any idéas?

Still works for me on an up-to-date mailcow server.

(/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) failed: No such file or directory looks strange – if this file is not available inside the Dovecot container, Dovecot shouldn’t work at all…

What does docker compose exec dovecot-mailcow ls /run/dovecot show?

and this is with ls -la

Same for me. Sorry, no idea why your doveadm is complaining, then… 🤔

ajnadox

anyone else got an idéa?

did you try running the doveadm command from inside the container instead of docker compose?
Worth a shot.
