Unable to restore. "Could not read confirmation message"

Dear Community,

I am having trouble restoring my instance using a dump. When I run the restore command, I do not get an opportunity to confirm the restore process. Instead, it immediately ends. You can see this in the timestamps.

2024-11-21T05:52:16Z: INFO      ▶ 001 No config file found, using default or config from environment variables.
2024-11-21T05:52:16Z: INFO      ▶ 002 Running migrations…

Thank you for your help!

How are you running Vikunja?

Thank you, for your quick response.
I run it via docker compose.
Here is my .yml

I am trying to restore it with this comand using an alias :

eugen@km-vsv-24:~/vikunja$ vikunja-docker restore files/dump.zip

What does the alias look like when it’s expanded?

You’ll need to make sure docker runs this as interactive, as described here: https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/container/exec/#options
