Getting "connection refused" for any type of connection

[danionita]

I am running Protonmail bridge docker on an UnRAID server.
I have a few small websites that run on the same machine as the Bridge which use it to send e-mails. I also have a PC that uses MailBird as an e-mail client to connect to the Bridge via my LAN. No firewalls or VPN are involved.
This setup has been running for over a year. Occasionally, the bridge would stop working but after restarting the Docker, it would work again. Very annoying because I would not realize it is down, but somewhat fixed by turning auto-updates on so that it restarts itself every so often.
However, since Dec 10, none of my services or e-mail clients are able to connect to the Bridge to retrieve or send mail. It just throws the following error whenever anything tries to connect: " socat[21019] E connect(5, AF=2 127.0.0.1:1143, 16): Connection refused".. Nothing in the configuration or network has changed.

Same here 👋

Same problem since a couple days, no change in the config or anything... Tried rolling back to previous version (3.8.2-1) with no luck.
I had the problem with both 1143 and 1025 ports

I figured out my account was no longer synced, so I reinitialized the bridge (using the readme procedure) and reentered my credential and it fixed the problem.
I don't know why my account disappeared.

For me the reinitialization also worked out. The new account is syncing data to differend directory (dir have uuid-like name) so it is good to remove the old one.

I have the same issue, but it is not solved by re-initialization. I even removed the docker container and its files and started over. The issue appears back after few hours. Rebooting the container also fixes temporarily the issue.

I also have a similar issue that I cannot send mails anymore - reinitalized docker container also didn't fix the issue.
is there some sort of debug that we can turn on to understand the issue better ?
