"could not fetch configuration from server"

So this is weird. I’m suddenly getting this error: “Could not fetch configuration from server. Make sure you have an internet connection.” I found the error in the repo (in boot.ts) but I can’t see anything that applies to my situation, as I haven’t changed anything.

SB is running in docker, tag: latest, and I’m getting the error in multiple browsers. There are no errors in the docker logs, and the container reports that it is running correctly, even triggering git autocommits periodically. I’ve tried clearing caches, restarting the container, re-pulling the image, etc.

Any ideas?

v2? edge?

If v2 and/or using Sync mode with Cloudflare, make sure it isn’t something like https://community.silverbullet.md/t/sync-failures-with-cloudflare/

You see a sync button on the toolbar, try clicking it :slight_smile:

Currently using v1 (well, “v1”), latest release. I’m using cloudflare, but not cloudflared (no tunnels). I have a second server whose services are accessed via cloudflare DNS but are not cached with cloudflare, dedicated to my tailscale setup. I may try deploying SB there, but I really wanted it publicly accessible (to me).

The most curious thing is that I had the following experience:

Laptop 1 (macOS) - Had been previously accessing SB succesfully:

  • Zen (firefox fork) - Started receiving the error
  • Safari (never otherwise used) - Received error

Laptop 2 (nixOS) - Had been previously accessing SB successfully:

  • Zen - Works fine
  • Firefox (clean install, new profile) - Works fine
  • Gnome Web - receive error

Phone (iOS)

  • Safari - Works fine (shockingly fine, in fact; an edit I made on my phone instantly appeared on this laptop)

What I can’t figure out is where this error is occurring. The application is clearly working across devices, so it’s not some quirk where a local cache is giving the impression of working, even after clearing caches.

Maybe I should just switch to v2 and see what happens! :slight_smile:
