No TrayIcon icon on Mac, so can't launch UI

[horatio]

Mac running latest system sw: 15.4.1
Duplicati version: 2.1.0.4_stable_2025-01-31

Multiple threads related to this but I can’t find a (simple) solution.

• Launch D app from Applications folder.
• TrayIcon doesn’t launch or IAC no top menubar icon/menu appears. (I am not in dark mode and there’s no “hidden” icon up there.)

http://localhost:8200/ngax/index.html yields an error:

It wants some PW that I don’t think I know. Tried any stored in my PW manager.

Is there a simple, known solution for this? I can paste commands into Terminal and hit Return; my under-the-hood skills pretty much stop there.

Thanks, very much appreciated.

Please update to 2.1.0.5 stable, as there is a case where uploads can be lost in 2.1.0.4

That is quite strange, I have never seen that happen. Any log messages or similar?

Then it should be possible to run the following:

/Applications/Duplicati.app/Contents/MacOS/duplicati --webservice-password=<password>

This will set the password, but it will not fix the missing TrayIcon, but perhaps this will log some error messages to the terminal that explains the problem?
