Enabling auto-sync corrupts encrypted config

[parasiteoflife]

I'm using tabby 1.0.220, if I enable the "Sync automatically" option I start getting:

Could not decrypt config

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'version')

If I retry it asks for the vault passphrase but it keeps showing the same error.
My config is encrypted.

Hey @parasiteoflife

Thank's for reporting this issue. Sadly, i'm unable to reproduce. Do you have any error on rtabby-web-api side ?

[parasiteoflife]

I see this

rtabby  | [2025-01-15T02:53:59Z ERROR rtabby_web_api] Encountered error on database connection: Invalid connection url for multiconnection
rtabby  | Error: DbConnection(BadConnection("Invalid connection url for multiconnection"))

rtabby-db  | 2025-01-19  7:42:13 0 [Warning] mariadbd: io_uring_queue_init() failed with errno 0
rtabby-db  | 2025-01-19  7:42:13 0 [Warning] InnoDB: liburing disabled: falling back to innodb_use_native_aio=OFF

I thought maybe it was the db password so nuked the db folder, set a new password without special chars but the problem still occurs and now I only get the db error from above, haven't seen the web api error again.

When the problem occurs all the config file has is:

encrypted: true
configSync:
  parts:
    hotkeys: false
    appearance: false
    vault: false
  host: https://tabby.domain.com
  token: xxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
  configID: 1000
  auto: true

Could you pls send your docker compose file ?

Sorry for the delay, I just tested with your docker compose and database password test123test..
Vault and auto sync enabled on tabby side. Everything working fine.

[parasiteoflife]

Maybe it's the tabby client OS? I'm using Windows 10.

I've tried uploading the config, making a backup and then downloading the config from the sync window. I compared the two files (downloaded config and backup) and they are different, is this normal?

The contents, iv and keySalt are different which I'm guessing is why I can't unlock the vault with my password

Hey @niliovo, by default, latest tag use mysql as database. If you want to sqlite database, use ghcr.io/clem-fern/rtabby-web-api:latest-sqlite or ghcr.io/clem-fern/rtabby-web-api:sqlite
