Tested on

It appears ntopng is stuck on startup.lua stage if it fails to download the hardcoded feeds. In my case it was https://rules.emergingthreats.net/fwrules/emerging-Block-IPs.txt and https://feed.ntop.org/blog.json.

Workaround was

sed -i '' 's/"enabled":true/"enabled":false/' \
  /usr/local/share/ntopng/httpdocs/misc/lists/builtin/emerging_threats.list

sed -i '' '343s/^/-- /' \
  /usr/local/share/ntopng/scripts/callbacks/system/startup.lua
