First of all, vikunja suddenly deleted my account(?) and I couldn’t log in. There is nothing on the logs, just “Wrong username or password”, but no, it’s not wrong. The proof is that I was connected in the desktop app and when I tried to create another task it appeared “Invalid or expired jwt”. By luck I was able to do backups with vikunja dump. But I’m not able to import the data. When I try to import it appears “Internal server error” and in the logs “no data file provided.”
Vikunja restore did not work too. Restore, restart container and it didn’t log. Tried creating the same account, with the same password, retore, restart the container and didin’t work either, this way bugs everything, even freezes firefox.
What dump are you trying to import where? The dump from the vikunja dump command can only be imported with the vikunja restore command.
Did you confirm the dump import?
Yes, of course. Also what’s the correct way to do the restore? “Restore, restart container and it didn’t log. Tried creating the same account, with the same password, retore, restart the container and didin’t work either, this way bugs everything, even freezes firefox.”.
Anyway, I think I’ve done all possible ways.
What did you do? Can you provide the exact steps you did, including the commands you executed etc?
And what do you mean by “it didn’t log”?
It means that I can’t log in to the account.
Restore, restart container and it didn’t log.
vikunja restore from vikunja dump. Confirm and try to log in the webui
Tried creating the same account, with the same password, retore, restart the container and didin’t work either, this way bugs everything, even freezes firefox.
vikunja restore from vikunja dump. Confirm and create an account with the same passoword etc.
Anything in the logs after importing the dump? Was the dump imported successfully?
Can you verify the dump you’re importing actually has data? (Open the zip and look at the content of the json files, users.json contains all users for example)
What Vkkunja version are you using?
I just checked the backup files, and all json files are empty. But I was able to create tasks and manage my account earlier, so must there was a problem with vikunja dump. I just tried to create another account and do the vikunja dump, every json was empty. Seeing other posts seems vikunja dump to have had some problems over the past year related to empty folders and stuff.
What’s in the logs when you create the dump?
Vikunja 20.2

I seems to have had the issue over “user does not exist” after update. Anyway, I just want to have the opportunity to do a backup if it’s possible.
How did you run the vikunja dump command?
1 Like
Inside docker container using the vikunja file for the command.
Can you share the exact command?
./vikunja dump files/backup/
And how did you get inside that docker container?
docker exec -ti vikunja /bin/sh
Are you using a config file or env variables only? In the latter case, can you check (with the env command) if the variables are populated properly?
Env variables(default). What’s the env command?
