Readynas OS 6.10.5 breaks admin interface

Hi,

My readynas was working well, with 6.10.4 hotfix 1. I accepted the prompt to update to 6.10.5, and now I can't connect to it - I always get the error "

This site can’t be reached

readynas refused to connect.

Try:

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
"
I did a firmware reinstall using the boot menu, and it didn't fix the issue, but changed the password. I can ssh into it and I use linux, so I am not completely lost, and I found out it is an error starting the web server, due apparently to a missing private key for https, but after that I am a bit lost:

Any idea what might have gone wrong with the firmware update and you should I fix it?
  • I fixed the issue finally by using acme.sh and installing a letsencrypt certificate. I'll post a guide on how to do it as I couldn't find any updated one for the readynas.

    Is it possible that your OS partition is full or nearly so?  That can cause a lot of hard to diagnose errors caused by corrupt configuration files, especially when doing an OS update or re-install, which take additional space.

      The OS partition only has 29% used, so that shouldn't be an issue. 

      The used and available space on my system:

      # df -h
      Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
      udev             10M  4.0K   10M   1% /dev
      /dev/md0        3.7G 1005M  2.5G  29% /
      tmpfs           249M     0  249M   0% /dev/shm
      tmpfs           249M  392K  248M   1% /run
      tmpfs           125M  1.3M  123M   2% /run/lock
      tmpfs           249M     0  249M   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
      /dev/md127      2.8T  2.2T  581G  80% /data
      /dev/md127      2.8T  2.2T  581G  80% /apps
      /dev/md127      2.8T  2.2T  581G  80% /home

      Anything I can do other than a factory reset? I do have an external drive with an rsync of /data as a backup (which I just updated), but I'd rather not risk wiping and restoring. And I don't look forward to configuring the different shares I have again...

        You have an ARM system so you need to check for inode usage on the 4GB root volume as well:

        # df -i
