Hi. I used to run Duplicati on a docker on OMV, and it’s awesome. I switched to ZimaOS for my NAS recently, which just incoroporates Docker as well, so I installed Duplicati again, currently 2.3.0.1. I didn’t bother importing my old backups, and created a new ‘full’ backup again. I forgot to deselect some unneeded folders, so did that later on, made new backups.
Then I wanted to delete the versions with ‘delete –version 3,4’ or whatever versions it where. When clicking the blue ‘start command’ button, it keeps spinning but doesn’t seem to initiate anything. No space was reclaimed from my backend either. Then I tried several other commands, but they all did the same, no output, no log, no response. I’ve enabled verbose logging through settings, as well as logging to a file, but nothing is logged at all when I start a command.
Then I tried the other way around by just limiting the number of kept backups until the ones I wanted, ran a new backup and that worked just fine.
As said, verbose logging is enabled. When I start a backup or it’s triggered by schedule, the log is filled up fine.
What could be the reason for custom commands not running at all?
If there are no logs, then I am guessing something is breaking in the UI.
Can you try with developer tools and see what request is sent when clicking the button?
After clicking the button, the lowest error message appears. The other are already there when opening the page.
By the way, if possible, can you delete the screenshot from my previous post? I can only delete the whole post. I forgot to scramble it, I don’t want unnescessary things happen
Arh, that one makes sense to me. It is a browser version issue we have seen before. I cannot remember the details, but in some cases the browser does not have the crypto API exposed, even though it should.
I will fix it for the next canary (and then the next stable patch version).
Thanks, amazing! I want to add though that this is the current Chrome version. Edge doesn’t work (maybe expected, chromium and thing) but Firefox doesn’t work either.
It should work fine in Edge as well. I think the reason is something with a security setting or something like that. We develop (and test) in Chrome and Safari so it is not just a version issue.
Hmm well it’s most probably not in my browser settings. No specific settings in Chrome, and I never use Edge, so that was default as well. I actually used a newly ‘installed’ portable latest version of Firefox, so that was default too. I’ve used the commandline from GUI before, but that was when it ran on OMV still. However, can docker settings (that I didn’t deliberately made) prevent such things from working?
Yep that works! It turns out ZimaOS uses linuxserver/dupilcati repository in their appstore. So I switched to duplicati/duplicati:latest first, to check wheter there was an issue in the linuxserver repository but same issue. Then I upped to 2.3.0.101-canary and all works fine now! What a great piece of software this is.
Is there an official donation link? There was one at open collective I see, but that’s inactive, and the donations there don’t seem to be withdrawed?
We are running Duplicati Inc as a for-profit enterprise now, so we do not accept donations. You can purchase a subscription for the Duplicati console if you want to support us.
I withdrew myself from the OC to avoid any confusion, so there is no activity there AFAIK.
