Problem with decryption key while trying to set up sync (self-hosted CouchDB)

[eslksw]

I have been trying to set up sync using Obsidian-LiveSync. Installing CouchDB wasn't a problem, as I am fairly familiar with the system. Then I cam to Step 4., according to which I am supposed to generate a Setup URI using the following (which I put into a script file, re-exporting global variables):

export hostname=${OBSIDIAN_LIVESYNC_URL}
export database=${OBSIDIAN_LIVESYNC_DATABASE}
export passphrase=${OBSIDIAN_LIVESYNC_PASSPHRASE}
export username=${OBSIDIAN_LIVESYNC_COUCHDB_USER}
export password=${OBSIDIAN_LIVESYNC_COUCHDB_PW}

deno run -A https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync/main/utils/flyio/generate_setupuri.ts

The envar OBSIDIAN_LIVESYNC_URL matches my domain plus the secret word mentioned in the CouchDB installation docs (a random string, to be precise), the rest is self-explanatory.

When I reach the end of the setup, I get the error along the lines of "Problem with decryption key while trying to set up sync", I can't tell you the error exactly because the toast disappears almost instantaneously. Another time I got the error "No capitals allowed in URL", but only once. Is that an actual problem, to have the secret word contain capitals?

Anyhow, I'd love for this to work, I like ownership of my own data, but I am struggling a bit as you can see.

Thank you for opening the discussion!

The message Problem with decryption key while trying to set up sync can be rooted in No capitals allowed in URL. Logs we have missed can be shown in the Self-hosted LiveSync's log. (It can be shown by the archive-box icon on the ribbon or Show log from the command palette.
However, it probably means this value is invalid. We cannot contain capitals for OBSIDIAN_LIVESYNC_DATABASE, and it derives this "Database Name".

We can fix it from this setting dialogue, and the new Setup-URI can be generated on Obsidian (by copy settings as a new setup URI from the command palette).

I hope this answer is helpful.
