Hi,

did you have a look at the server logs? It seems to me that the server returns 500 Internal Server Error at this one request, would be interesting to see why.

I just double-checked, and the import still works with planka version 1.15.4 with the provided sample board.

Yes thanks, planka logs gave a 500 permission denied as you said.

I used the planka admin user and checked the credentials in config.json.

I created a different admin user in planka > retried > same error. Then added the user to the project > retried > same error.

any ideas?

Interesting, do any other attachments work via the Planka UI? For example uploading some file to a card manually. My guess is that this doesn't work either.

I assume that this attachments directory is mounted from the host machine - if so, I remember there is sometimes trouble in writing to those - hopefully this issue helps: https://github.com/plankanban/planka/issues/488

Thank you for the hint! I tried the chown fix (it did not work) as i did no use mount points but docker volumes (standard docker compose file from planka) Would you suggest i open a new issue at planka?

edit: by copying the planka data out of the volumes to the filesystem and then restarting planka with those mountpoints and doing the chown solution mentioned in https://github.com/plankanban/planka/issues/488 it has worked!

However it should have worked with the standard planka volume based compose file? So still i would raise the issue there again but what is the proper etiquette? Close this one and reopen a new one @ planka issues?

Nice!

Close this one and reopen a new one @ planka issues?

Yes, if the import has worked for you now, you can close this one (or let me know otherwise) and ask about the volume mounting in the planka repo, I think they can provide better answers there. Thanks!
