    Hello @factord
    This looks like a copy-paste issue from Windows.
    \r in line 2 is a blank line, so a line break.
    When you copy and pasted, it pasted the line breaks windows style.

    Please describe how you have copy and pasted the code into the /app/data/fix_db.sh file.

    @james hi James, same than @christophermag , copy/paste in Windows 11, applying his sed fix did the trick for me too.

    PS: i didn't receive any email notification of the mentions.

      Hello @factord
      This is due to your forum profile settings.
      If you visit https://forum.cloudron.io/user/factord/settings you can see under Notifications the option When someone mentions you is set to None.
      If you wish to get notifications on mention, you will have to enable this.
      Although, you should have got a notification that there were new posts in this topic unless you have changed the topic notification status to Not Watching or Ignoring since in your forum profile settings the following is set:
      c03d6b0d-34c2-4f6b-8c08-8a0aad2ee534-image.png

      Did you change the notification setting in this topic (top right bell icon)?

        I just noticed TODAY that my VW was down. Thanks @james @christophermag for the fix. I also ran into the windows 11 copy/paste issue.

          I've got an error during upgrade of Vaultwarden from 1.22.2 to 1.23.0 or more 1.24.0 etc... :

           Please generate a secure Argon2 PHC string by using `vaultwarden hash` or `argon2`.

                I assume this may be more of Vaultwarden issue than a Cloudron one but I wanted to say the recent image update (https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/2546/vaultwarden-package-updates/79?_=1778039394241) seems to have broken Vaultwarden, requiring me to restore from backup.

                  I can confirm I am seeing the same since yesterday and the package update from 1.24.4 to 1.25
                  The app then becomes "not Responding" with the error mentioned aboved by @d19dotca

                  Reverting to previous version restore functionalities/access indeed.

                          Can you check the encoding of the database and also the tables?

                          In the web terminal, first get the database name:

                          echo $CLOUDRON_MYSQL_DATABASE
                          

                          Then, click the mysql button above and press enter. Replace DB_NAME_HERE . You should get utf8mb4

                          mysql> SELECT   SCHEMA_NAME,   DEFAULT_CHARACTER_SET_NAME,   DEFAULT_COLLATION_NAME FROM information_schema.SCHEMATA WHERE SCHEMA_NAME = 'DB_NAME_HERE';
                          +------------------+----------------------------+------------------------+
                          | SCHEMA_NAME      | DEFAULT_CHARACTER_SET_NAME | DEFAULT_COLLATION_NAME |
                          +------------------+----------------------------+------------------------+
                          | fb30d5a9f5fd3620 | utf8mb4                    | utf8mb4_unicode_ci     |
                          +------------------+----------------------------+------------------------+
                          

                          Then, check all the tables.

                          mysql> SELECT   TABLE_NAME,   TABLE_TYPE,   ENGINE,   TABLE_COLLATION FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'fb30d5a9f5fd3620' ORDER BY TABLE_NAME;
                          +----------------------------+------------+--------+--------------------+

                          If the table encoding is not the above, then first take a backup of the app and then follow the instructions at https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Using-the-MariaDB-(MySQL)-Backend#foreign-key-errors-collation-and-charset

                            This seems to fix the issue indeed - At least from my side, there was a table collection charset mismatch.
                            The other question is how it came to be.

                              @Teiluj this was a bug in vaultwarden a while go (which is why they maintain a wiki article on how to fix it up). https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Adani-garcia%2Fvaultwarden charset&type=issues

                                Same problem here. Restored to 1.24.4 and stopped automatic updates.

                                  I also had a not responding app and have reverted. Guess I need to look at that guide...

                                  I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

                                    @jdaviescoates @joseph Thanks for your advice. I followed this guide: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Using-the-MariaDB-(MySQL)-Backend#foreign-key-errors-collation-and-charset and problem now is fixed.

                                    thanks a lot

                                      Is there a step by step instruction to solve this issue, for me it is unclear how to fix this issue. Thanks!

                                        The above posted link to the GitHub wiki seems to be the step by step instruction. Which is the part where you don't get forward?

                                          Thanks, when I run the queries I don't get out put..
                                          Should I do it before upgrading, and or in recovery mode?
