Troubleshooting

The phone does not list my server​

  • The phone and the computer must be on the same network (not a guest Wi-Fi that isolates devices).
  • Open UDP 5353 (mDNS) in the computer's firewall; the server finds its way to the phone through it.
  • Check the server runs: systemctl status aiudtfs.
  • You can always open http://<computer-address>:48651/ in the phone's browser to test the connection itself.

The browser cannot open the server​

  • Check the address and port (journalctl -u aiudtfs -n 30 prints them) and that TCP 48651 is open in the firewall.
  • If you changed the port on the admin page, you also have to restart the server, and the address has the new port.
  • The page is plain http://, not https://.

I forgot the password​

Use Forgot password? on the login screen, then Request a recovery PIN. See The admin page ("Forgot the password?") for where the PIN comes from. Never reinstall to reset a password — your albums are in ~/.aiudtfs_state.

You tried to drop something into a folder that is not in select mode. Press the pencil (Edit) for that folder, then drop.

I cannot choose a folder as the photos folder​

The photos folder must lie inside a writable directory. Add its parent on the admin page (Advanced → Folders → Add to writable), press Save folders, then choose it again.

Plus is not active after paying​

  • Pay on the account the server is linked to (Account & Plus shows its e-mail).
  • Press Refresh status on the Account & Plus screen.
  • If you linked a second server to the same account, only the first one gets Plus.
  • The status line says when the account service cannot be reached.

A new device cannot log in (device limit)​

Your version limits how many devices can be connected (3 on Demo, 4 on Free), and a new one is refused once they are all taken. On the admin page open Authorization → Connected devices and Disconnect one you no longer use.

Where are the logs?​

journalctl -u aiudtfs -n 100
