Failed to sync TRUENAS catalog (ElectricEel)

TrueNAS General

I did a fresh install of ElectricEel-24.10.0.1 and configured it from scratch. I didn’t change much except the timezone, imported my pool and set up users, SMB shares and data protection stuff. In particular, I haven’t changed anything to do with networking.

I was able to install my first app (plex) without any issue.

However, having now rebooted the system, plex still works, but I can’t install any new apps.

I have a critical alert that says:

Failed to sync TRUENAS catalog: [EFAULT] Failed to clone ‘GitHub - truenas/apps’ repository at ‘/mnt/.ix-apps/truenas_catalog’ destination: [EFAULT] Failed to clone ‘GitHub - truenas/apps’ repository at ‘/mnt/.ix-apps/truenas_catalog’ destination: Cloning into ‘/mnt/.ix-apps/truenas_catalog’…

(How do I see the rest of the message?)

When I try to install another app it says:

CallError: [ENOENT] Unable to locate ‘sabnzbd’ at ‘/mnt/.ix-apps/truenas_catalog/trains/community/sabnzbd’

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

/mnt/.ix-apps/truenas_catalog is indeed empty.

How could it have become empty, and how do I fix this?

Well, I tried the obvious:

cd /mnt/.ix-apps
sudo git clone https://github.com/truenas/apps.git truenas_catalog

And that worked fine. Now I can install apps again. Question remains as to why it got emptied out, and why the automated clone failed at boot up.
