That is a valid sed command. Delete browser cache and try again.

Thanks, that was good :)

@tteck This is caused by the output of openssl rand -base64 32, which can include the / character. Since / is being used as the delimiter in your sed command, any / in the replacement string can break the command.

I would propose changing it to:

sed -i 's|NEXTAUTH_SECRET="[^"]*"|NEXTAUTH_SECRET="'"$(openssl rand -base64 32)"'"|' /opt/homarr/.env

It uses | instead of / as the delimiter for the sed substitution command.

@dragonfire1119 You are correct, thanks for catching this. Changes will be made.
