hi!

Followed your readme. Getting issues

Any idea what could i have missed?

check if ports are open

Hi,
when the server is running you have to run the authentication command:
auth login device in the server console you can attach using docker attach CONTAINER_NAME

after logging in successfully you can run auth persistence Encrypted to save the authentication so it does not ask you everytime you restart the server

And the desktop client says invalid access token

[axlroden]

well thats probably just docker issues.. but yea.. no hardware UUID

[Slowline]

i got the hardware uuid error too but it seems to still let people connect on my end

#3 That fixed my issues
