Avatar Returns failed with status 500

Support
1

Running Vikunja in a Docker Container using the default docker-compose yaml.
Everything works fine its just when I try to upload my own avatar it fails and returns:

Error
Request failed with status code 500
Internal Server Error

There was apperantly some issues with this but was supposed to be solved it seems to not be. To add I have tried both jpeg and png.

I do not know if this should be a bug or support topic but I may have somethign set up wrong, I await your help fellow vikunja users.

Anything in the api logs?

Hi @kolaente ! Thanks for your help with this :slight_smile:
I too just spun up Vikunja and encounter the same error, I do have SSO with Authentik set up and accessing Vikunja through HAProxy (through the localhost IP, port 80)

Fixed it by adding 1000:1000 to the ./files within container
Might be different for you, @Alexandru, but would recommend reading the thread below:

What I did to fix:

docker exec -it vikunja-api-1 sh (will be the name of the api container)
chown 1000:1000 /app/vikunja/files -R

Thank you so much that fixed it and it makes sense now why I was getting the error :sweat_smile: .
