Couldn't reach your SparkBox from this browser
Posted by dk1025
I'm having a problem that I've never experienced before. Whenever I try to log in to SparkBox and it asks for my password, I get the following error message: "Couldn't reach your SparkBox from this browser, so your password wasn't checked. Wait a minute and try again. If it keeps happening, run sudo sparkbox doctor on the box — it names what is blocking the connection." Also, every time I try to reset my password, I get another error, and the reset process fails. By the way, I'm using the Windows version of SparkBox.

Sorry. That sign-in message sent you to a command that won't run from Windows PowerShell, which made this harder than it should be. "Couldn't reach" means your browser got no answer from SparkBox, so your password was never checked. It does not mean the password is wrong, so please don't reset it again until we know more. The failed reset may have the same cause, but I haven't confirmed that yet. One read-only check, in PowerShell opened as administrator: wsl -d SparkBox -u root -- /opt/sparkbox/sparkbox doctor Send me the last few lines it prints, with IP addresses and keys removed. If PowerShell says it can't find a distribution named SparkBox, send me that exact message and tell me whether you installed with the Windows installer or with Docker Desktop.
