The new security system is terrible. Once I was able to change my password and access the web interface (under Windows), but I never understood how I did it. Now (under Linux) I’m just turning over a mountain of manuals, but still can’t figure out what to do.
I used to be able to get my old backups and make new ones in a couple of minutes. Now it’s just a continuous nightmare.
I don’t know what to do. Can you help me get this to work?
“Connection to server was rejected due to invalid authentication”
You’ve never had Duplicati before? There’s always been a first run setup, but it used to allow no password if you said you were the only user. That leaves a bit of a hole for malware and such…
That’s the TrayIcon, but you need to decide if you want to backup as you, or need a root service, meaning what systemd would run and you would manage with systemctl. That’s separate config password, but jobs are also different. If what you see now is what you want, wonderful. It’s done.
Let me look in AppController.js at “First run setup”
2.0.8.1 has
If your machine is in a multi-user environment (i.e. the machine has more than one account), you need to set a password to prevent other users from accessing data on your account.\nDo you want to set a password now?
2.1.0.2 has
Duplicati needs to be secured with a passphrase and a random passphrase has been generated for you.\nIf you open Duplicati from the tray icon, you do not need a passphrase, but if you plan to open it from another location you need to set a passphrase you know.\nDo you want to set a passphrase now?
Question is whether the version 2 First run setup comes up at first run of version 2 security?
I have been using this programme for over a year. I found it while watching some video on youtube. I have never had any problems with it. It worked like clockwork on both Windows and Linux (Debian + XFCE). And it was very simple.
But now I am just disappointed. There are some new directories in my home directory. The same ones in root.
No, no, I’m sure the programmers have done everything right, they’ve beefed up security, defence, something else, etc. I’m not disappointed in the software, I’m disappointed in myself. I’m just an ordinary user, far from being the smartest, and I’m unlikely to figure it all out. I’ll have to go back to password protected archives (7z) or something like that. I’m sorry.
