Storage password not saving

Support
#1

First, thanks so much for all your prompt replies!

I’m just getting to testing this with linux. I have it running as default storage using google cloud, and that seems to work fine with a token file saved in the preferences. However, I’ve added a local backup destination and it always asks for a storage password. I’ve tried adding “password”: “my-pass” to the keys section in preferences, and I’ve tried environment variables too, not seem to work. (tried DUPLICACY_PASSWORD and also DUPLICACY_local_PASSWORD, neither work).

In fact, I was having the same issue with the gcs_token setting at first because I had that job called “google”. When I named it “default” then it worked. Have not tested this with local yet.

Thanks again!

This is a doc bug. The correct name for the key should be “local_password” – i.e., it requires the storage name as the prefix for storages other than the default one. The prefix is actually redundant since the key is stored under the preference object for that particular storage so there won’t be any conflict if the storage name is omitted. I’ll fix this for the next update.
