Description

With the start of 2025 I added a new token since the old one expired. I updated the new token in the docker compose and restarted the containers. FF3 starts as expected and is accessible. The importer see's the token, but is unable access FF3. Multiple tokens have been created and tried, but importer can not connect.

Expected behaviour

• Input new token for the year and Import then connects.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create new personal access token under /profile in FF3
2. Remove the old token and add the new token
3. Import connects and is able to import transactions.

Hey, thanks for opening an issue.

Are you using the web interface to use the data importer after you changed the token?

[Kage1]

Yes, Updated the token, restarted the containers and then i'm accessing the web interface for the FF3 importer. It's issuing this message:

Configuration / connection error :(
The importer could not connect to Firefly III. Please remedy the error below first, and check out the documentation if necessary.

Tried "http://192.168.10.50:9005/api/v1/about?" 5 times but failed: cURL error 28: Connection timed out after 31411 milliseconds (see https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) for http://192.168.10.50:9005/api/v1/about

[JC5]

Mmmm a time-out. Are the Firefly III container and the data importer part of the same docker compose file?

[Kage1]

Yes, both are in the same compose file and go down/up together.

[Kage1]

So just figured it out, but don't know what changed. I had to change the IP to the internal docker network 172.x.x.x:8080, vs using the external mapped IP of the server:port, 192.168.x.x:9005.

Was there some code change restricting the usage of the serverIP:MappedPort?

[JC5]

No, I can't restrict that. But I'm used to docker blocking the long way around. In the standard config it's also referring to the internal port and address ("app:8080").

This has been the case as long as I can remember.
