#1939 moved the Google Places and Unsplash keys into encrypted app_settings rows,
but the rotation script walks a hardcoded list of app_settings keys and the two
new ones were not on it. Rotating ENCRYPTION_KEY would have left them encrypted
under the old key, which reads back as null and silently drops the install to
OpenStreetMap with nothing in the log to say why.
users.unsplash_api_key was missing from the users column list for as long as the
column has existed. It matters now that the resolver reads that column as the
per-user fallback, so it goes in at the same time.
The script cannot import the canonical list, since it deliberately runs without
config.ts and without the container, so the copy is pinned by a parity test that
reads the script and fails when a name is missing from the app_settings loop.
Wiki: the rotation page listed the Maps key as per-user and did not mention the
app_settings rows an operator now has to carry across.
The scheduled backup archived travel.db directly. The archiver reads its
entries during finalize(), so a WAL checkpoint writing pages back mid-stream
tore the copy — and the -wal that would make it recoverable isn't in the zip.
The manual path was moved to VACUUM INTO for exactly this reason; the
scheduler never followed. It calls the same createBackup() now, which also
gets it the encryption key and plugin data it was missing, so a scheduled
backup is finally restorable onto another install.
The pre-rotation copy in migrate-encryption.ts had the same problem: a plain
file copy of a live WAL database, and it is the operator's only rollback if a
key rotation goes wrong.
Auto-backups now exclude the re-derivable photo caches, matching manual ones.
Adds the complete TREK documentation wiki covering installation,
trip planning, admin panel, MCP/AI integration, addons, and operations.
Also fixes encrypt-at-rest gaps: mapbox_access_token, Synology
credentials, per-user webhook/ntfy tokens, and photo passphrases
are now rotated by migrate-encryption.ts and stored encrypted via
settingsService.
Add server/scripts/migrate-encryption.ts — a standalone script that
re-encrypts all at-rest secrets (OIDC client secret, SMTP password,
Maps/OpenWeather/Immich API keys, MFA secrets) when rotating
ENCRYPTION_KEY, without requiring the app to be running.
- Prompts for old and new keys interactively; input is never echoed,
handles copy-pasted keys correctly via a shared readline interface
with a line queue to prevent race conditions on piped/pasted input
- Creates a timestamped DB backup before any changes
- Idempotent: detects already-migrated values by trying the new key
- Exits non-zero and retains the backup if any field fails
README updates:
- Add .env setup step (openssl rand -hex 32) before the Docker Compose
snippet so ENCRYPTION_KEY is set before first start
- Add ENCRYPTION_KEY to the docker run one-liner
- Add "Rotating the Encryption Key" section documenting the script,
the docker exec command, and the upgrade path via ./data/.jwt_secret
