מאז היום אני לא מצליח להוריד את הגיבויים שיצרתי דרך הקישור בדוא"ל יותר.
ניסיתי דפדפנים שונים מבוססי פיירפוקס, אבל זה לא אמור לשנות מכיוון שזה תמיד עבד בעבר
ניסיתי להוריד גם גיבויים ישנים יותר מרשימת הגיבויים בדיסקרוס
עדכנתי את docker_manager ואת דיסקרוס עצמו לגרסה האחרונה היום (מאחסן את מופע הדיסקרוס docker על vps, מעולם לא היו בעיות)
הפעלתי מחדש את ה-vps פעמיים בסך הכל עד כה
ביצעתי בנייה מחדש אחת של ./launcher rebuild app
מה קורה: אני לוחץ על כפתור ההורדה בדיסקרוס ודיסקרוס שולח לי את קישור ההורדה בדוא"ל. אם אני לוחץ עליו, הוא נטען במהירות אך ההורדה לא מתחילה. אם אני מרענן את הלשונית החדשה, זה אומר “מצטער, קישור ההורדה לגיבוי כבר נוצל או פג תוקפו.” גם העתקת הקישור ופתיחתו בדפדפן אחר לא עובדת
גרסת דיסקרוס: v3.6.0.beta1 +37
גרסת Docker_manager: 78a2036b

אבל כל הגיבויים נראים זמינים כאן: /var/discourse/shared/standalone/backups/default, השמות והגדלים של קבצי ה-.tar.gz נכונים.
Not that I’m aware of… no, actually quite sure not. Just on September 26, 2025, I was able to successfully download the backups via link. Today, I initiated the backup while it was already updating the docker_manager in Discourse- but I don’t know if that’s somehow relevant. Otherwise, I set up the entire VPS exactly according to ‘best practice’ because I wanted to avoid causing any problems by deviating in any way. Can I provide you with any logs from the VPS or Discourse that could help analyze this? I really don’t want to have to set up the VPS again
It slowly starts to become really frustrating: I didn’t want to annoy you longer with this individual problem, so I reinstalled the VPS.
Now I have completely reinstalled the VPS and installed discourse according to the official instructions. And after the initial configuration I was able to create the first small backup and actually download it by email. But after I have restored my last backup, the crap starts again: The download of the backup cannot be initiated again when clicking the link.
And it doesn’t matter which browser you use. I am registered in the browser in the forum where I also open the link in the mail in the browser.
The links look also similar to me so I guess something ist bricked in the forum configuration.
Backup-Link after first initial configuration:
https://my-forum.com/admin/backups/my-forum-2025-10-05-135900-v20250925182715.tar.gz?token=9***7468e4aa0da7f36aa6299872bc8d
Backup-Link after restoring my old backup and trying to create and save a new backup:
https://my-forum.com/admin/backups/my-forum-2025-10-05-141012-v20250925182715.tar.gz?token=9***7973b0d415528ee7308d3df8f637
the only way now is to save the backups at the vps directory directly. but that is really disappointing me, because I thought finally I found a forum software that is more or less foolproof.
if anyone has an idea what I could check, I’d be happy. starting the forum from scratch again is no option but at least you can backup and restore it the oldschool way as I figured out meanwhile
At first I didn’t really want take a deeper look at the browser idea because I already wrote in my post that I tried several browsers. But you never know … it can be due to some weird things as you said.
And see there: The cause of the error was actually the browser!
Thank you so much @tobiaseigen !!! You were absolutely right.
Thanks to your suggestion I was able to figure out what caused the error!
for whatever reason the browser I tested (ungoogle chromium, brave, firefox, librewolf, tor browser) don’t start the download if you click the link in your mail inbox in the browser. only if I copy the download-link, open manually a new blank tab, paste the download-link and execute the link manually, then the download starts like there was never a problem
maybe my mail provider is doing some bllsht link protection like microsoft with their safelinks and before I can initiate the download they open the link, but then many other users should have that problem too. maybe its because of a browser update, but brave is chromium based and all the other are firefox based, that would be a big coincidence if both projects would have changed something same at the same time.
it’s fine for me to copy and paste the download link in the browser manually. maybe one day it will work like before. in any case I have to be logged in in the forum, to be able to start the download, but that makes sense.
