sessionSecret not present in config.yaml in production Dockerfile

[dasantonym]

I have a running setup on Docker (image requarks/wiki:2, just pulled it again and restarted container) and it was working fine until a few days ago I was suddenly faced with the error secret option required for sessions.

The config.yaml in the container looks like this:

port: 3000
bindIP: 0.0.0.0
db:
  type: $(DB_TYPE)
  host: '$(DB_HOST)'
  port: $(DB_PORT)
  user: '$(DB_USER)'
  pass: '$(DB_PASS)'
  db: $(DB_NAME)
  storage: $(DB_FILEPATH)
  ssl: $(DB_SSL)
ssl:
  enabled: $(SSL_ACTIVE)
  port: 3443
  provider: letsencrypt
  domain: $(LETSENCRYPT_DOMAIN)
  subscriberEmail: $(LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL)
logLevel: $(LOG_LEVEL:info)
logFormat: $(LOG_FORMAT:default)
ha: $(HA_ACTIVE)

Same as in the current source at https://github.com/requarks/wiki/blob/main/dev/build/config.yml, but I wonder how this was supposed to work before. Does the secret come from the DB and is mine corrupted somehow? sessionSecret is specified as required in the docs.

Before I throw away the data and set the wiki up again, I just wanted to make sure this won't "randomly" happen again later.

Any advice on where to look for more clues?

The secret is in the DB, not in config.yml. The secret is generated during setup and stored in the settings table under the sessionSecret row.

Thanks for clarifying!

I now finally wanted to reanimate this Wiki, but the entry for "sessionSecret" was completely missing in the DB. Inserting it manually (as key=sessionSecret, value={ "v": "..." }) now has the Wiki showing Unknown authentication strategy "jwt".

Not sure why it went missing, as the wiki was working initially. Could this have something to do with the fact that we were using Keycloak to authenticate?

I am encountering the exact issue. @dasantonym Were you able to find solution

No, sorry, we just stopped using wiki.js.

After an update (on docker) I have the same issue. Any solution besides stop using wiki.js?
