Hi @Luccifer, the script will generate a set of config files. Can you share the content of your management.json? It looks like the DataStoreEncryptionKey is missing or wrongly created. Did you have any errors when running the script?

Ofc!

Here is it from settings:

I also added quotes in this json at 49, 61, 78 and 91-92 LOC (deleted, lines at 91-92 below) 'cause ./configure.sh didnt manage to pass parsing the json, so I chacked, that thoose lines are not in quotes..
"RedirectURLs": ["$NETBIRD_AUTH_PKCE_REDIRECT_URLS"],
"UseIDToken": "$NETBIRD_AUTH_PKCE_USE_ID_TOKEN"

Either with or withoud 91-92 lines still cant make working management

And this one in artifacts:

If you mean the ./configure.sh script, after I made changes in manifest.json no errors were outputed only notices:

Letsencrypt was disabled, the Https-endpoints cannot be used anymore
 and a reverse-proxy with Https needs to be placed in front of netbird!
The following forwards have to be setup:
- https://site.no:443 -http-> dashboard:80
- https://site.no:33073/api -http-> management:33073
- https://site.no:33073/management.ManagementService/ -grpc-> management:33073
- https://site.no:10000/signalexchange.SignalExchange/ -grpc-> signal:80
You most likely also have to change NETBIRD_MGMT_API_ENDPOINT in base.setup.env and port-mappings in docker-compose.yml.tmpl and rerun this script.
 The target of the forwards depends on your setup. Beware of the gRPC protocol instead of http for management and signal!
You are also free to remove any occurrences of the Letsencrypt-volume netbird-letsencrypt

Anyways, i didnt find any occurances of NETBIRD_DATASTORE_ENC_KEY in configs..

Did enyone managed to make it start from scratch with advanced tutorial with latest tag, assuming management.json has issues in json-code + some mappings are abscent

Well after 5th clean installation VM Ubuntu 2204 proxmox I made it working with standalone docker compose.
Also I spotted that ./configure.sh sometimes creates folder of management.json/ instead of management.json

@zoechi commented on GitHub (Sep 20, 2024):

I switched to PostgreSQL and the error ~~went away~~ was just covered up by other errors.

EDIT: I installed Netbird using NixOS and there was a default value for the encryption key set that wasn't base64 (DataStoreEncryptionKey = "very-insecure-key";).
This attribute is not shown in https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=24.05&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=services.netbird.server. and was therefore easy to miss.
I was able to overwrite it with a key created according to the description in https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/imdm/12.0?topic=encryption-generating-aes-keys-password and that fixed this error.

if anyone is still searching for this, you can generate key with this command:

openssl rand -base64 32
