deserialization failure, hosting atuin-server on fly.io

[vielmetti]

I'm trying to host atuin-server on fly.io, and I'm running into a snag. The server appears to come up properly, but when I go to register myself as a new user I get this error. I am new to both attain and to fly.io so this has been a bit of a puzzle.

Related (perhaps?) is this error in the logs when I try to set

ATUIN_OPEN_REGISTRATION=true

I get this

The fly.io docs helpfully suggest that they can only set strings as environment variables, not booleans. And I'd like to do this all without the need for mountiag a volume just for the config file.

Strange. Looking at the code, I don't see why

[env]
    ATUIN_OPEN_REGISTRATION = "true"

Wouldn't work.

If you're still having trouble, you could try put a settings.toml into your docker file with this configuration there instead

Looks like Haseeb Majid @hmajid2301 worked out the full install - his notes are at

Looks like this is sorted

Yes @Ellie it's sorted out - the tutorial I linked to had enough information to make it possible for me to get atuin server running and synced between a couple of machines. I appreciate it!
