0.19.5 desktop version ​cannot view existing workspaces with self-hosted instance, cannot create workspaces

[ATPs]

What happened?

I am running self-hosted instance in version 0.18.5. I used nginx to change the

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name affine.xxx.xxx;

    location / {
        proxy_pass         http://127.0.0.1:3010;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
        }
    }

the web version works good.

I can log in the self-hosted server with desktop client 0.19.5, but cannot view the existing workspaces.

if I try to create new workspaces, I get error message saying "Failed to create workspace".

If I click the "Create" button multiple times, it goes back to the sign in page.

Do I also need to upgrade the backend selfhosted server to 0.19.5? I remember that I tried 0.19.2, but get similar outcome.

Anyone succesfully connected to the selfhosted version?

Me I'm unable to connect Affine Client to my self hosted Affine. I hosted it using docker behind a traefik server in order to use https. I have access to the self hosted Affine 0.19.3 through the web browser using https://localhost:8443/. But using it as Server URL in the Affine client to connect to the self hosted server gives me the "Unable to connect to the server." error.
How did you connect the client to the server ?

I have a domain name, and use nginx to point to the server. I used cloudflare to change http to https. IP ip address directly will not work.

[Abdoulaye-Sayouti]

I see. I tried to create a local domain name setup by adding 127.0.0.1 affine.local in /etc/hosts. But still not working. I don't know if the Affine server must be hosted online

I used a url like https://affine.abc.site and it works.

[Abdoulaye-Sayouti]

Thanks, it's working now. I used nginx and Cloudflare as you did.

@Abdoulaye-Sayouti I think this is because the https on your localhost url and cannot pass the certificate.

can you create and view existing workspace normally?

can you create and view existing workspace normally?

Yes everything is working perfectly. It took me some time but finally got it working. I can view and edit my existing workspace that I had locally.

@Abdoulaye-Sayouti I think this is because the https on your localhost url and cannot pass the certificate.

I see, I will try to do it again locally another time to see if I can get it working without using external resources like cloudflare.

that's great... Not sure why it is not working in my case. Do you use the lastest in the server side? also 0.19.5?

[Abdoulaye-Sayouti]

I tried an Affine client both on Mac and Linux and I can connect to the sever. Yes I'm using the 0.19.5 both on client ans server side.

[Abdoulaye-Sayouti]

Maybe If I got some time I will try to write a short tutorial on how to do the full process. From deploying the self hosted Affine server and connect it to an Affine client.

I guess i need to do more test. I will test later with the 0.20 official release~
