Broke my EVE-NG after Ubuntu Upgrade on Bare metal

Post by lemonajnkur » Sun Sep 12, 2021 8:25 am

I upgraded my EVE_NG Ubuntu which is installed directly on a dedicated Dell Tower at home.
It's working great for 2 months but impulsively I upgraded linux to 20.04 (as it would regularly asking to upgrade to latest version).
It took half an hour asking lot of questions and I answered lot of questions in upgrade, some were probably not right decisions.

Below is my current version after upgrade:
root@eve-ng:/etc# cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="20.04.3 LTS (Focal Fossa)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS"
Few symptoms :

1) There used to be lot of interfaces in ifconfig, but they are all gone except main eth0. Even that I have to change to DHCP to be able to get an IP address.
2) This system is not returning anything on http://EVE-NG-IP anymore.
3) Can't access eve-ng in browser, listening ports revealed 80/443 is not even open on it anymore which is needed for EVE-NG GUI.
root@eve-ng:/etc# sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN
sshd 1858 root 3u IPv4 30111 0t0 TCP *:22 (LISTEN)
sshd 1858 root 4u IPv6 30113 0t0 TCP *:22 (LISTEN)
systemd-r 5369 systemd-resolve 13u IPv4 43481 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.53:53 (LISTEN)
AdGuardHo 222765 root 25u IPv6 881652 0t0 TCP *:3000 (LISTEN)

I can see my qemu/dynamips images in their respective folders so data is safe, it's just that lot of linux configurations are overwritten.
Now's it's totally broken. I'm a newbie on Linux, unable to diagnose it much.


I'm very stressed as I had built labs over long term and I don't want to lose them :-(

Just an update here for someone who looks up for same problem.

I had to reinstall the EVE-NG & Ubuntu again.

Fortunately, i took the backup of everything under UNETLAB folder.
Once restored, all my labs/images came back as before which was absolutely fantastic and saved my days rebuilding everything again. :)

Note: If someone has many images, VM's, LAB's, the backup can run in many 100's of GB's
