Cannot init new repository - ERROR - Connection closed by remote host. Is borg working on the server?

Description

I’m trying to init a new repo, but keep getting this error « ERROR : Connection closed by remote host ». I checked your website : https://docs.borgbase.com/faq/#all-connections-to-a-borgbase-repo-fail-with-an-error-immediately

if I use ssh -v XXXXXX@XXXXXX.repo.borgbase.com, everything works like a charm, including passing the password prompt.

I’ve tried to regenerate many times the ssh key, or create new repos, without success. My SSH pub key has been added to the « SSH keys » tab in borgbase, and full access permission granted to this very ssh key.

I’m using vorta v0.91, on a MacOS 13.6.1.

ERRORS

In Vorta vorta

Steps to reproduce

Clear all SSH keys and existing repositories on borgbase.com
Generate new ssh key on my computer id_rsa_borg
Add new SSH key to borgbase.com/ssh and paste the content of id_rsa_borg.pub to the field
Create a new repo in borgbase.com
Grant full access to the newly added SSH keyto this repo
Copy the repo's address (format ssh://XXXXXX@XXXXXX.repo.borgbase.com/./repo)
In Vorta, click on the "+" to add a new repo, paste the repo's address
Paste a new password for the repo and stroke "Add"

I am having the same issue but with flatpak in linux. From the logs:

The vorta installed from the archlinux packages (0.9.1-4) is working without errors with the same profile/server so it is an issue from the flatpack version in my case.
