Hello, I spun up my instance and when I was doing the initial setup I got an error “Server already exists”. I reloaded the page and realized that the server was a copy of https://exploding-heads.com/. I was really confused since I didn’t do anything. I didn’t even federated with that instance. After that I changed the settings to how I wanted them to be and moved on with the day. I thought it was one time issue.
Few days later I restarted the server and when I got back to it the name, logo, description and sidebar have changed back to the ones from the other instance. I changed them back to normal and decided to restart just the docker containers. Again the same issue.
Normally the logs help but this time nothing out of normal shows up.
After this command what do I do?
Run the sql query from above:
select id, name from site order by idI ran it already. Nothing happens
Ah you need to add a ; at the end.
Looks normal then, cant think of anything that would cause your problem. I guess when it happens again, you can run the same sql query, and check that your instance name still has id 1. But it would be very strange if that changed somehow.
Ok, thank you really much! I will report if something goes wrong again.
No problem. This PR would fix the problem once it gets implemented.
