# New tool to manage a running server
Due to incompatibility with `duplicati_client` a new tool is included, named `Duplicati.CommandLine.ServerUtil.exe`/`duplicati-server-util`.

The new tool can pause/resume a backup, run a backup, change the password and more:
https://github.com/duplicati/duplicati/pull/5483

# Encrypting database fields
To reduce the risk of leaking encryption passphrases and credentials, 
many fields in the `Duplicati-server.sqlite` file can now be encrypted with user supplied key.

The following environment variables control the encryption options:
- `SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY`: Provides the settings encryption key.
- `DUPLICATI__REQUIRE_DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY=true`: Prevents starting with a key (also supported via `--require-db-encryption-key-true`).
- `DUPLICATI__DISABLE_DB_ENCRYPTION=true`: Forces Duplicati to run without encryption (also supported via `--disable-db-encryption=true`).

If you need to change the key, you can temporarily decrypt the database by starting the server with `--disable-db-encryption`.
After starting, stop the instance again, change `SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY` to the new key and start again without the argument, to have it re-encrypted.

To downgrade from this version, run once with `--disable-db-encryption`, and change the version number to 7, then install the previous version.

**Note for users of 2.0.9.105:** The method for extracting an encryption key from the machine seriail number did not produce secure results. 
This feature has now been removed, and will prevent you from upgrading. To upgrade from 2.0.9.105, start with `--disable-db-encryption`, then exit, then upgrade to 2.0.9.106+.
Users from other versions than 2.0.9.105 will not have difficulties, and Docker users should not see any issues either.

## Detailed list of changes:
- Fixed console duration output including days
- Added blacklisting of some settings encryption keys
- Refactored the way databases are located to use shared code
- Fixed translation consistency issues, thanks @luixxiul
- Fixed missing commandline help on Windows
- Added dift support for JWT expiration
- Removed DeviceId as the source for settings encryption keys
- Fixed an issue where an authentication issue was reported as a server error
- Fixed MSI packages failing to upgrade
- Re-added the `FORSERVICE=true` flag to MSI packages
- Improved diganostics output from server-util

# Encrypting database fields
To reduce the risk of leaking encryption passphrases and credentials, 
many fields in the `Duplicati-server.sqlite` file will be encrypted after running this version.
The key used to encrypt is derived from the machine serial number, so **the database cannot be decrypted on another machine**.

If your strategy relies on being able to read this database, you must take action.
These two setups are vulnerable:
- If you do not store a copy of the passphrase elsewhere
- If you make a copy of the settings database

We strongly recommend that you store a copy of the passphrase(s) securely, regardless of your setup.

If you want to choose the settings encryption key, you can set the environment variable `SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY` to a custom value.
If you want to never use the serial number as the passphrase, set the environment 
variable `DUPLICATI__REQUIRE_DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY=true`, which will prevent Duplicati from starting without a user provided key.

If you need to change the key, you can temporarily decrypt the database by starting the server with `--disable-db-encryption`.
After starting, stop the instance again, set `SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY` and start again without the argument, to have it re-encrypted.

To downgrade from this version, run once with `--disable-db-encryption`, and change the version number to 7, then install the previous version.

As always, feedback is appreciated!

This build is changes the underlying webserver to Kestrel, which is common for .NET based projects.
A big thanks to @tsuckow and @npodbielski for their contributions towards this goal.

** This build changes authentication for the WebUI **
With this build it is no longer possible to use the web-UI without a password. 
If no password is set, a random password is generated.
For users activating the UI via the TrayIcon, this will automatically log in, as the TrayIcon hosts the server.
For users that rely on the WebUI without the TrayIcon, as special link is emitted during startup that allows login.
For both cases, the password can be (re-)set with `--webservice-password=...` as a startup commandline argument.

## These are some of the major changes that can cause surprises, so please review and see if any are relevant for your usage:

- Changed runtime to .NET8, shipping with dependencies, no more Mono or .NET install required
- Changed from portable executable to operating system and CPU architecture dependent packages
- Server database with SQLite is no longer "encrypted" with RC4, running a new canary or later will decrypt the database
- The executable `Duplicati.Library.AutoUpdater.exe` is renamed to `Duplicati.CommandLine.AutoUpdater.exe` and has limited functionality
- The Windows MSI installer has been reduced, it offers essentially no options for now and no UI
- The updater has been rewritten to rely on installing the packages, instead of having the "in-place" updates
  - There are now longer a spawned secondary process
  - The updates folder can be deleted
  - Installing an update now requires manually downloading and running the installer (you still get a notice)
 - To fit better with non-Windows systems the executables on non-Windows are all lower-case and prefixed with `duplicati`:
    - `Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon.exe` -> `duplicati`
    - `Duplicati.CommandLine.exe` -> `duplicati-cli`
    - `Duplicati.RecoveryTool.exe` -> `duplicati-recovery-tool`
    - ... and similar for others

2024-04-03 - 2.0.7.102_canary_2024-04-03
==========
This build is intended to be the last build that uses .Net4 (aka .Net Desktop).
Future builds are expected to use .Net8 and will require a manual update,
because the .Net builds are no longer operating system independent.

The upside is that there are fewer dependencies (no more Mono),
and execution times are greatly improved.

2023-05-25 - 2.0.7.1_beta_2023-05-25
==========
After almost 2 years, a new Beta has taken its time, but it’s finally 
there. It’s a roll-up of all the fixes since the last beta build and is 
expected to cause very few issues when upgrading. This release is almost 
identical to Canary 106.

It involves a better UI for dark mode, better support for Dropbox, 
Jottacloud, S3, Tencent backends, add IDrive backend, TLS modernization, 
bug fixes, upgrades to libraries.

Points of attention:

- database upgrade from 11 to 12: Downgrade from this version requires 
manually adjusting the version 
number in the database. The additions can be re-applied if the database is 
upgraded again later.
