[BUG][WEBJS] - Failed to Unzip File: End-of-Central-Directory Signature Not Found
Describe the bug
When attempting to unzip a ZIP file, the process fails with an error indicating that the file is either not a ZIP archive or is corrupted. This prevents the application from proceeding with further actions.

Docker Logs
[/app/RemoteAuth-30309616.zip]
End-of-central-directory signature not found.
Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.
In the latter case, the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /app/RemoteAuth-30309616.zip or /app/RemoteAuth-30309616.zip.zip,
and cannot find /app/RemoteAuth-30309616.zip.ZIP, period.
Is there any solution to this problem? It has occurred more than once already and is very inconvenient. Please advise.
Currently, the version is as follows:
Engine: WEBJS Version: 2025.2.1

Exactly this error, right?
End-of-central-directory signature not found.
or may be a different one?
What infrsastructure do you have, any over-the-network disk by any chance? Or just regular dedicated VPS + docker? MongoDB or regular file system?

Everything is standard. A regular VPS + Docker and MongoDB. Yes, that is indeed the error.
- How many sessions do you have?
- Could you share some logs before the error, it should print the archive size, may be something we'll find there, not sure
May be try switching to postgresql for one session to see if it helps with the error. https://waha.devlike.pro/docs/how-to/storages/#sessions---postgresql

I don't have any logs; I need to check them in real time. I don't store all logs to save disk space. Which session storage is more reliable — local or PostgreSQL?
Hi, I often got the same issue. Mine is running under AKS, WAHA have been configured with persistent storage mounted at /app/.media, same as MongoDB that data persisted in Azure disk.
