Authentication failed for nonexistent user None. #164
Description
Hope this is the right forum. First time leaving an issue on GitHub.
Edit: Originally posted on Tsudoko's repo but realized he hasn't answered in any issues in a couple of years.
Long story short, I've set up a docker container (kuklinistvan/anki-sync-server) for Anki-Sync-Server (AnkiSS) and when attempting to use the Anki Desktop client to sync, I'm receiving the "AnkiWeb ID or password was incorrect; please try again." error. When looking at the server logs it says "Authentication failed for nonexistent user None.".
AnkiSS is on a Linux Server and the Anki Desktop is on a Linux Client.
The Anki Desktop client is v2.1.66.
To go over set up & troubleshooting steps:
On the AnkiSS host, I've ran the ./ankisyncctl.py adduser command, as noted in the linked documentation.
Troubleshooting output is shown below:
- Docker-Compose config
- The wireshark output as observed on the client
- As well as the docker logs from the running conainer showing that it receives the request (first line)
- The in-container AnkiSS output that shows the user exists.
My goal is to identify (as shown in # 3) why a user of NONE is observed on the server, even after I've explicitly created one and validated that one exists. Also, I would like to know if there is anything in general I am missing or misunderstanding about the Sync Server's purpose/configuration.
I have an nginx proxy, but I tried with both FQDN and just IP and the result is the same.
