"app/www" folder is empty, ASF-UI not working

[zycboss]

I run ASF in Docker, everything is configured well, and it works fine for the past a few years, the IPC and ASF-UI were also work good, and I did not change the config files for any of them.

But today after I updated the ASF version to 5.4.12.5, I found the ASF-UI is not working, the page instantly gives an 404 error, and I found the linked "/www" folder is empty now, but in the log it still shows IPC server is running.

I tried to copy the files into the "/www" folder from a previous backup, the ASF-UI page turns into a blank white with an ASF icon on the tab only.

I tried to re-create Docker container, and also deleted all the .db files in the /config folder, not helping. ASF just simply not trying to download the files for ASF-UI.

Any work around for this?

Are you by any chance mounting a volume from the host to the www directory of your container? Without any details about your setup this is a guessing-game.

Sorry, as I said I did not change any config when ASF-UI is broken, so the www directory was properly mounted before.

I run the Docker in my QNAP NAS, so I can only pull its diagnose information below, hope this can be helpful.
It should include all the config and mounting setup.

Those are your problems.

1. You should never override www directory - unless you mean to supply your own WWW interface, and in this case you should not come here complaining that our interface bundled with ASF doesn't work - because you override it yourself. Remove this.
2. You should not override plugins directory, unless your intention is to remove all ASF plugins. If you want to provide your custom plugins, you should override directory inside /app/plugins, like /app/plugins/custom. If you don't want to provide any custom plugins to ASF, best to remove this mount as well.

Thank you.
I removed the override, and it's working again now.

That is pretty strange that in older version of ASF and QNAP Container station, I have to override www directory to make ASF-UI to work, and I actually used it like this for YEARS without any problem.

And I do need some custom plugins, so I will use the override directory as you suggested.
