Im trying to start a new database on a new ssb-server install. I have my secret backed up and places in .ssb

Even though i can get gossip to connect using ssb-server gossip.connect ..., it does not start the sync. Even though log show the connection is established

ssb-server progress indexs just sits at -1

{
  "indexes": {
    "start": -1,
    "current": -1,
    "target": -1
  },
  "ebt": {
    "start": 0,
    "current": 2,
    "target": 163
  },
  "ooo": {
    "start": 0,
    "current": 0,
    "target": 0
  }
}

I know this used to work in the past, not sure how to get ssb-server to kickstart this sync

I am seeing this issue as well. Did you ever find a solution @darkdrgn2k?
