Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

yes

📜 What is the name of the script you are using?

Firefly III LXC

📂 What was the exact command used to execute the script?

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/main/ct/firefly.sh)"

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

By default, the oauth-public.key file is not owned by the server, so most operations fail. This includes adding transactions and even loading several pages.

The fix is to to run this command:
sudo chown www-data:www-data /opt/firefly/storage/oauth-*.key

⚙️ What settings are you using?

  • Default Settings
  • Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Debian 12

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

  1. Install using the script.
  2. Keep all default settings.
  3. Log in.
  4. Create an account.
  5. Navigate to transactions -> Revenue / income
  6. Select "Create a new transaction"
  7. Click on either "Source account" or "Destination account." They are both supposed to load existing accounts. Neither one does.
  8. Enter the data manually.
  9. Click "Submit." The error will occur saying that oauth-public.key is missing or not readable.

Paste the full error output (if available).

Key path "file:///opt/firefly/storage/oauth-public.key" does not exist or is not readable

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

This is the fix:

sudo chown www-data:www-data /opt/firefly/storage/oauth-*.key
