☸️ #FOSS stack series, post 7 of 9: K3s. Almost everything in this series — Ghost, Postgres, Redis, OpenProject, Zammad, Huginn, Forgejo, Prometheus — runs on the same orchestrator: K3s, a lightweight Kubernetes distribution. One binary, sensible defaults, full Kubernetes API.

Done :-) Thanks for your responses. For those sticking with this thread, Redmine redmine.org is working well and I will be purging the system of openproject once I send off the archive. Maybe I can save someone else a day of frustration 🤔

If you like, provide a pe-composed tar command. I will execute it and send the resulting archive to `support@openproject.com`

I did a complete wipe and re-install and the demo projects gave the same sort of errors. That was the screenshot I posted.

Here are the errors before hitting the button: ``` Uncaught HALError: Http failure response for http://192.168.101.16/api/v3/queries/form: 401 Unauthorized _HalError hal-error.ts:19 createErrorObservable hal-resource.service.ts:323 performRequest hal-resource.service.ts:96 RxJS 13 onLoad Angular hal-error.ts:19:5 Uncaught (in promise) HALError: Http failure response for http://192.168.101.16/api/v3/queries/form: 401 Unauthorized _HalError hal-error.ts:19 createErrorObservable hal-resource.service.ts:323 performRequest hal-resource.service.ts:96 RxJS 13 onLoad Angular hal-error.ts:19:5 ``` After hitting the button: ``` Failed to build edit field: HALError: Http failure response for http://192.168.101.16/api/v3/work_packages/38/form: 401 Unauthorized _HalError hal-error.ts:19 createErrorObservable hal-resource.service.ts:323 performRequest hal-resource.service.ts:96 RxJS 13 Angular 2 RxJS 64 fromObject hal-link.ts:75 $fetch hal-link.ts:92 linkFunc hal-link.ts:130 updateForm resource-changeset.ts:182 getForm resource-changeset.ts:156 loadFormAndCheck edit-form.ts:317 loadFieldSchema edit-form.ts:298 loadFieldSchema edit-form.ts:297 loadFieldSchema table-edit-form.ts:173 activate edit-form.ts:123 processEvent edit-cell-handler.ts:85 handleEvent click-or-enter-handler.ts:15 onClickOrEnter click-or-enter-handler.ts:9 handleEvent click-or-enter-handler.ts:15 attachTo event-handler-registry.ts:50 n index.js:6 listener index.js:6 edit-form.ts:336:17 Handling error message HALError: Http failure response for http://192.168.101.16/api/v3/work_packages/38/form: 401 Unauthorized _HalError hal-error.ts:19 createErrorObservable hal-resource.service.ts:323 performRequest hal-resource.service.ts:96 RxJS 13 Angular 2 RxJS 64 fromObject hal-link.ts:75 $fetch hal-link.ts:92 linkFunc hal-link.ts:130 updateForm resource-changeset.ts:182 getForm resource-changeset.ts:156 loadFormAndCheck edit-form.ts:317 loadFieldSchema edit-form.ts:298 loadFieldSchema edit-form.ts:297 loadFieldSchema table-edit-form.ts:173 activate edit-form.ts:123 processEvent edit-cell-handler.ts:85 handleEvent click-or-enter-handler.ts:15 onClickOrEnter click-or-enter-handler.ts:9 handleEvent click-or-enter-handler.ts:15 attachTo event-handler-registry.ts:50 n index.js:6 listener index.js:6 for work package Object { injector: {…}, "$source": {…}, "$loaded": true, halInitializer: initializer(halResource), "$links": {…}, "$embedded": {}, "$halType": "WorkPackage", derivedStartDate: Getter & Setter, derivedDueDate: Getter & Setter, spentTime: Getter & Setter, … } hal-resource-notification.service.ts:77:13 Failed to load default form select-edit-field.component.ts:143:28 valuesLoadingPromise select-edit-field.component.ts:143 (Async: promise callback) initialize select-edit-field.component.ts:143 ngOnInit edit-field.component.ts:70 ngOnInit select-edit-field.component.ts:117 Angular 38 create editing-portal-service.ts:57 activateField table-edit-form.ts:117 (Async: promise callback) activateField table-edit-form.ts:106 renderField edit-form.ts:343 activate edit-form.ts:130 (Async: promise callback) activate edit-form.ts:124 processEvent edit-cell-handler.ts:85 handleEvent click-or-enter-handler.ts:15 onClickOrEnter click-or-enter-handler.ts:9 handleEvent click-or-enter-handler.ts:15 attachTo event-handler-registry.ts:50 n index.js:6 listener index.js:6 ``` Some error logs from Apache: ``` [Wed Jun 10 16:21:41.318557 2026] [proxy_http:error] [pid 2899:tid 140322034128448] [client 192.168.101.99:44492] AH01114: HTTP: failed to make connection to backend: 127.0.0.1, referer: http://192.168.101.16/projects/ai0-dev-0-0-1-pcb-assembly-test-and-evaluation/gantt?query_props={"tll":"{\"left\":\"startDate\",\"right\":\"dueDate\",\"farRight\":\"subject\"}","tzl":"auto","tv":true,"hi":true,"t":"start_date:asc","c":["id","type","subject","status","startDate","dueDate","duration"],"f":[{"n":"status","o":"o","v":[]}]}&name=all_open [Wed Jun 10 16:22:11.069541 2026] [proxy:error] [pid 2899:tid 140322067699264] (111)Connection refused: AH00957: http: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:6000 (127.0.0.1) failed [Wed Jun 10 16:22:11.069601 2026] [proxy_http:error] [pid 2899:tid 140322067699264] [client 192.168.101.99:33658] AH01114: HTTP: failed to make connection to backend: 127.0.0.1, referer: http://192.168.101.16/projects/ai0-dev-0-0-1-pcb-assembly-test-and-evaluation/gantt?query_props={"tll":"{\"left\":\"startDate\",\"right\":\"dueDate\",\"farRight\":\"subject\"}","tzl":"auto","tv":true,"hi":true,"t":"start_date:asc","c":["id","type","subject","status","startDate","dueDate","duration"],"f":[{"n":"status","o":"o","v":[]}]}&name=all_open ```
