Nothing in Connections tab

Open SebastianGode opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

The connection tab of my relay is just empty. On the traffic page nyx shows the following error message: [NYX_NOTICE] BUG: Unexpected exception from ConnectionTracker: "getpwnam(): name not found: 'tor'"

My relay is running in a docker container, ControlPort is correctly forwarded from the container and everything else except the connections tab also works.

Hi Sebastian. This is apparently failing because our attempt to get the user id of your tor process fails (relevant code).

Unfortunately I don't have a workaround to offer you. I'm no longer actively doing Stem or Nyx development but keeping this open because it's certainly a gotcha for anyone using Nyx in Docker.

Can we try specifying the user that the Tor process should run within your Docker container?
