Container doesn't build config.json correctly ("latest" tag)
So I ran into this issue (bug?) earlier and fixed it. I was just able to recreate it. Went straight to this page https://hub.docker.com/r/typhonragewind/meshcentral and copied/pasted the "docker-compose.yml example" and spun it up after changing the hostname to be my IP address. Looks like it is using the "latest" tag. It gives me the error "ERROR: Unable to parse /opt/meshcentral/meshcentral-data/config.json." The culprit is a mangled sessionKey in config.json:
{
"$schema": "http://info.meshcentral.com/downloads/meshcentral-config-schema.json",
"settings": {
"cert": "2x.xx.xx.x8",
"_WANonly": true,
"_LANonly": true,
"sessionKey": "%-$GEdm[(@IzzGg}MV"_sessionKey": "MyReallySecretPassword1"7-sqi7bz-@CZ3",
"port": 443,
"_aliasPort": 443,
"redirPort": 80,
"_redirAliasPort": 80,
"AgentPong": 300,
"TLSOffload": false,

}
},
"domains": {

"_title": "MyServer",
"_title2": "Servername",
"_minify": true,
"NewAccounts": "true",
"_userNameIsEmail": true,
"_certUrl": "my.reverse.proxy"
}
},
"_letsencrypt": {
"__comment__": "Requires NodeJS 8.x or better, Go to https://letsdebug.net/ first before>",

}
}
For some reason the container doesn't correctly set the sessionKey. Looks like it's trying to set both a commented out & an uncommented sessionKey, and forgetting a comma between them. The fix is to simply make the sessionKey of format "sessionKey":"sessionKeyHere";
Thanks
Uhh, weird. Thanks for letting me know, I'll fix this as soon as i can
It also seems to copy and add some lines to the end of the file, when I fix the above mistake and recreate the container. Which again makes the JSON broken.
The end of my file looks like this:
Something changed on the master config file from meshcentral and now my SED lines are broken. Thanks for all the troubleshooting! Things should get calmer for me in a few days and i'll be able to take a look at this properly
I had a look at the startup script and it seems to be all in order. I did remove one source for a potential bug i didn't think off and that may solve this issue
