BR in proxmox container

[caiotizio]

hi there,
i'm trying to run backrest into a proxmox container with debian template.
when i launch BR i got this error

root@rrrr:~# backrest 2024-06-24T11:09:13.221Z DEBUG loading auth secret from file 2024-06-24T11:09:14.174Z FATAL timeout while waiting to open database, is the database open elsewhere?

i have oplog.boltdb in .local/share
since the container is a minimal server installation, it might need some dependencies?
i also tried to run BR by non-root user, but same result.

update:
database doesn't open because it's opened by deamon. the systemctl service is active and running but webUI doesn't start.
if i stop service and start backrest manually it works.

latest release 1.2.0 doesn't start either manually.

Hey, it sounds like there might be multiple issues going on with your installation here?

timeout while waiting to open database, is the database open elsewhere?

Backrest takes a process lock on the database, it's important that you only run one instance at a time with the same database file.

starting web server 127.0.0.1:9898

backrest made a change in 1.2.0 that the WebUI only listens on localhost. You'll need to override --bind-address :9898 if you'd like backrest to listen on all interfaces.
