Duplicati Tray Icon When Running as Linux Service

[ts678]

IIRC it’s a multi-part problem. One is that TrayIcon might be going before separate server is done starting. Another is that reading needed login secret from the server DB might be blocked, e.g. by file permissions. Below is an interesting idea from some years ago, but I don’t know what became of it.

For the OP the TrayIcon needs to know the password, otherwise it cannot connect to the server and display the current status. We also have plans to add a “read-only” mode, which would make this a little simpler. We are using this to create a valid session, and pass the session token to the browser if you open Duplicati from the TrayIcon.

Other notes:

Tray Icon does not start after setting a UI password (Service Mode)
Tray icon bypasses UI password
