How to migrate firefly to other machine? (Unsupported cipher or incorrect key length)

[azzamsa]

Hello,

I've successfully migrated all my self-hosted apps to another machine using the following method, which has worked perfectly fine for all of them, including those with a PostgreSQL database:

1. Stop the docker services on Machine A.
2. Copy all the data from Machine A to Machine B using SCP.
3. Start the docker services on Machine B.

However, I'm encountering an issue with Firefly. After the migration, I'm receiving the following error:

firefly-app-1   | [Tue Apr 30 05:41:32.539763 2024] [php:error] [pid 65] [client 127.0.0.1:43208] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught RuntimeException: Unsupported cipher or incorrect key length. Supported ciphers are: aes-128-cbc, aes-256-cbc, aes-128-gcm, aes-256-gcm. in /var/www/html/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Encryption/Encrypter.php

Additionally, I'm unable to run any commands with docker exec -t firefly-app-1 bash. It seems to be stuck, possibly due to the app status showing as 'starting':

Is machine B another architecture?

[azzamsa]

I assume yes, because I did migrate my Firefly from time to time but with the same Linode servers with no errros. This time I migrate them to Vultr.

Any solution? 🙏🏼

Sorry, not a clue :(.

Perhaps use something like mysqldump to export the database and import it again?

[azzamsa]

I have another self-hosted app that encrypts all the user CLI command history, it is https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin.
But why it doesn't share the same fate as Firefly when moving to new architecture?
Why does Firefly have something like Unsupported cipher or incorrect key length. Supported ciphers are ?

And I don't think I can do full export and full import using the Firefly UI.
