Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

Keep getting the "Unable to authenticate with server" pop-up, but the server status button shows as "server online".

To reconnect, I go to "change server URL" and after selecting the server, I get redirected to bootstrapping before logging in.
After I logged in, I select the file, and I get prompted to sync the file to the cloud.

This happens every couple of minutes.

How can we reproduce the issue?

How can we reproduce the issue?

Log in, select file and work on it for a bit. Don't sync or do anything for a couple of minutes. Try to sync

Where are you hosting Actual?

Fly.io

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Safari

Operating System

Mac OSX

Sounds like your server is not persisting some necessary files.

Either way - please use the community discord for tech support. We don't use Github issues for that.
