OpenShell sandbox error fixed via database patch and clean shutdown service

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user encountered an error state with their OpenShell sandbox, preventing management operations. The issue stemmed from a bug in OpenShell v0.0.116 where a process termination during a reboot left the sandbox in a terminal 'Error' state. The user resolved this by manually patching the gateway's SQLite database to change the sandbox's phase from 'Error' to 'Stopped', allowing normal operations to resume. To prevent recurrence, a systemd service was implemented to ensure a clean shutdown of the sandbox before the host system reboots. AI
