Do i need to do a clean install?

Posted by wildwill

[ERROR] This box already has a configuration (.env exists). [ERROR] Re-running the wizard would REGENERATE secrets (DB passwords, [ERROR] the backup encryption key) and break the running install. Edit settings instead: dashboard Settings, or nano /opt/sparkbox/.env && sudo sparkbox up Really re-run the wizard (data loss risk): SBFORCERECONFIG=1 sparkbox install root@Wildiwll:~

Hi wildwill — no clean install needed. That error message is the normal guard when the installer detects you already have a working box running. Its there to prevent accidentally regenerating your database passwords and backup key, which would break your running setup.
