Ahh before I forget. I use Zoraxy as a reverse proxy

[eliandoran]

@Mike710Shine , we've had cases like this before.

Generally it comes down to the session between the client and the server not being restored properly. Maybe the server doesn't have access to the data/sessions folder?

Please also try to provide the backend logs, as they could be quite useful.

Here the logs from the Server Instance

[Mike710Shine]

Maybe the reverse is the problem. I updated to a new version. I asked about it there too. Unfortunately, I was told that it's because it can't debug.

[Mike710Shine]

This is an fresh Server Instance. Only the Sync is a Problem. I can login to the webfrontend and all is fine. Only the sync isn't working.

[eliandoran]

@Mike710Shine , could you tell me if your client is in initial sync mode (the screen that asks you to sync), or if it's an already working instance (e.g. you can see the notes)?

If you are in the initial sync mode, then try deleting the data directory in C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\trilium-data.

If it still doesn't work, try deleting the sessions directory on the server and restarting the server and the client (perhaps wipe the data dir as above as well).

[Mike710Shine]

This was a fresh install on the server. Clean folder for the Container. After the setup i deleted the C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\trilium-data and start Trilium and try the Sync but it doesn't work.

But i will try your solution. Maybe it will help. Thanks for the hint. I will come back and will report if this helps.

[Mike710Shine]

Ok what i have done.

I shut down the container, deleted the session folder and then started the container.
Deleted the data folder in appdata and then started the app and entered the data, unfortunately without changing anything. It just freezes.

[eliandoran]

@Mike710Shine , perhaps we can have a call to check what the issue might be.

Are you available for a Google Meet?

[Mike710Shine]

Yes sure. I try something out and will write if i have time.

[Mike710Shine]

So now i have time

[eliandoran]

@Mike710Shine , https://meet.google.com/jqc-hgdb-wcn

[eliandoran]

@Mike710Shine , could you try to do a sync with your local IP so that you have a functional application and then switch the sync server in settings to the public one? I wonder if the behaviour is the same.

[Mike710Shine]

When i do so the first sync with the IP works fine. When i change the Server adress to the public i geht this.

When i switch back to the IP it works at expected.

[eliandoran]

@Mike710Shine , most likely the cookie is lost somewhere in the proxy, I think we have to dig deeper in zoraxy. I hope you'll manage to get this issue solved.
