Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

I am trying to migrate my docker container to a new server and I get to the point that I am able to see the files but unable to decrypt.

How can we reproduce the issue?

I am not sure if this will recreate it but here is what I did. I stopped the old docker container, copied the appdata to the new server, configured the new docker container to look at the copied appdata folder, and started the new container. It opens and pulls up my instance and I am able to use the "global" password to get access and view the files. However when I attempt to decrypt the budget files it just fails and I get a popup to report a bug on Github.

I don't know what happened but after stopping the original container I cannot start the old one now either.

Also note that I always have the fatal error of not using the sharedarraybuffer which seemingly never works in firefox, fenec, ungoogled chromium, or vanadium.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome, Firefox

Operating System

Linux
