Newbie - Issue Portainer secret missing or invalid - No dashboard access - nuke install and still have issues loading dashboard
Posted by OppaiDragon
Hi Tom, team, First, I really like what you are doing with this board and one-click program. It really is pretty cool to see it doing installs. Now, to the issue. I ran into a VPN issue (using Mullvad... your surfshark link seems to be dead) where I couldn't update the VPN information (it was related to WireGuard information see this post but I ran into a bug that wouldn't allow me to remove the previous VPN information to do what was recommended in this reddit thread. I nuked the entire installation (full factory reset then actually removed TomSparkBox ) and then reinstall it thinking I would be able to restart the dashboard and load the correct information... well I have now run into a big bug with portainer (see below) [INFO] Portainer secret missing or invalid — reseeding secret (existing Portainer data kept)... /usr/local/bin/sparkbox: line 6119: /opt/sparkbox/modules/core/config/portainer-admin-password: Is a directory I saw a similar thread but I couldn't use any of the suggestions there to clear the issue and after a week I'm still stuck . I have run the doctor and tried to run portainer self-repair . This was the logs after portainer self-repair . I'm a newbie to Linux and don't have strong terminal knowledge. Please help me. I was able to see the programs getting install by your dashboard and it was really cool. Also, I don't know why it says unlicensed... I'm a legendary backer but I guess it's because I can't access the dashboard to login with my info. I appreciate the help and keep up the great work. I really want to setup my media center using my DXP4800 NAS. Sincerely, Linux grasshopper
