  5. Install TT-RSS app
  6. Upload Backup from local storage
  7. Select TT-RSS and restore
  8. From application menu select TT-RSS

Information

  • FreedomBox version: 19.2
  • Hardware: Pioneer
  • How did you install FreedomBox?: Downloaded August image from website.

Since this is a fresh install for a production FreedomBox, I’m going to try again and install TT-RSS without restoration. I’ll import the OPML from the FreedomBox I backed up.

We had reports of this bug earlier and were trying to reproduce it. Perhaps using this backup restore, the problem is reproducible. I will look in to it. Thank you for the detailed report.

I hope you were able to restore you OPML feed properly. Let me know if you are facing issues with that.

Thanks, Sunil. I’m dealing with another issue related to power, so I haven’t reinstalled it yet, but I’ve been able to reload from OPML before.

is there a solution to this problem? I get the same error message after reinstalling the FreedomBox and installing the tt-rss backup files.
thank you in advance :slightly_smiling_face:

Sorry, I don’t have a solution. I’ve been living with reloading from periodic saved OPML exports and starting over, losing starred and saved article.
