What is your SFTP server? Another Synology? If so, add another slash to the url after server name before the path. See Chunk uploading error with Synology

Indeed it is another Synology.
I added the leading slash, and now my storage looks like this:
sftp://Backup@192.168.2.17//Backup
That did it! Thanks!!
Ouch - this wonāt work for users (like me) who want to run it on a QNAP or Synology device with a vanilla Docker installation without dbus.
Any other way around this? Specifically I run docker in Swarm mode, so Iām unable to set a hostname (itās not yet supported). I was about to graduate from CLI to a licensed user of the Web GUI, but need to make sure the license will be consistent.
It appears to be impossible to add more than one Storage entity at this time. Can someone confirm whether or not they see the addition sign (+) after adding the first storage entry?
Ignorant question: Canāt you just add in .dockerfile
run echo "hostname" > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname ?
That was my misunderstanding of what was going on. I have already changed the way machine id is handled. It is now stored in the config directory along with the rest of duplicacy configuration so once generated it will never change for that virtual installation.
I will add override of a hostbame via environment variable or a file later today, good idea.
FWIW I run and test it on synology myself.
Bottom left corner, there should be a green +.
Been running the new web edition for just over a month and one thing has become clear - my graphs are looking a bit wonky:
Does everyone elseās graphs look like this?
Clearly, the New Revisions graph needs to be turned into a bar chart, coz those BĆ©zier curves have got some serious lick!
However, my particular set of graphs seem to be broken, perhaps due to those localhost-0 et al, activities. Those were an initial run of each backup job, before they were assigned to proper schedule.
Plus the scheduled activities only seem to show the last weekās worth. If this is by design, I donāt mind that, but the graph extends more than a week. (Also, if it IS a design choice, a longer time span would be nice to have, unless there are performance reasons?)

Scratch that. I forgot why I did not do it in the first place ā hostname can be provided as --hostname argument when starting container, something like this:
docker run --name duplicacy-web-container \
--hostname duplicacy-web-docker \
--publish 3875:3875/tcp \
--env USR_ID=$(id -u) \
--env GRP_ID=$(id -g) \
--volume /tmp/config:/config \
--volume /tmp/logs:/logs \
--volume /tmp/cache:/cache \
--volume ~:/backuproot:ro \
--volume /tmp/storage:/storage \

Synology UI uses āContainer Nameā as a hostname. So nothing to be done there. Itās already working correctly. Let me know if your use case is different.
That likely wonāt work for me because I run the image via Docker Swarm, which means technically a worker can run on any (single) node and have a different hostname depending on how hostname is accessed via Duplicacy. That single instance is monitored by the swarm and restarted if necessary or relocated if a node goes down. Then duplicacy backs up shared storage.
Tried it and it keeps getting ālocalhostā as the server name. Is there any way to accept hostname as an ENVIRONMENT variable like:
environment:
- hostname:duplicacy-web-ui
Here is evidence of the problem:
Yeah, Iāve read a bit docker swarm documentation and indeed this seems to be inherent problem.
Iāll add environment variable to override the hostname; at some point we shall consult with @gchen since all that pretending for the instance to be different host feels like stretching boundaries of the license.
At least there should be a way to ensure that only one instance is running at a time for each combination of of id-hostname-license.
I just installed the latest beta and Iām wondering if there is a way to import the configuration from the GUI client ?
Thanks.

Iāll add environment variable to override the hostname;
Apparently, this is impossible to do. Hostname is managed by the docker engine and cannot be changed within the running container.
Unless duplicacy adds an option to override system hostname when requesting license (which will likely never happen - this would circumvent the whole point of having licensing) I donāt think this would be feasible to do.
It seems to me that if you have swarm of instances capable of running duplicacy each instance shall be licensed separately.
Apparently, not yet, but you can do that manually.
Moving data from ~./duplicay/preferences to ~/.duplicacy-web/duplicacy.json is rather laborious process involving format change, and it would be easier to just re-configure storages and schedules from scratch in the UI;
Copying exclusion filters however is trivial - just copy ./duplicacy/filters into corresponding location under ~/.duplicacy-web//filters/localhost/0 or just paste contents it in the UI.
I agree, duplicacy-web should be able to detect presence of old version and offer to import the config automatically.

Totally agree. Iāve tied my Duplicacy instance to a single node.

The Web Edition always refers to the computer it is running on as localhost. The only place where it needs the hostname is when it checks the license for localhost.
Hi, I have added {{status}} to the subject for the email notifications but the actual text {{status}} appears in the emails I receive. Iām using the latest version.
Nevermindā¦ I have removed spaces between {{ and }} and it workedā¦
