Originally created by @bmscmoreira on GitHub (Jan 8, 2021).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/609

After searching for a word in the backend, logged in as admin, I get the error:
"Error: ENDED authentication_failed doesn't contain protocol(NUMBER)"

I am using docker and two containers - one for archivebox, other for sonic backend search. I have used the sample docker-compose file from https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/blob/master/docker-compose.yml having changed "SEARCH_BACKEND_PASSWORD" to my custom password.
In sonic configuration file I have changed "auth_password" to that same custom password, and inet to "0.0.0.0:1491".

Can someone help me debug this? Thank you.

@bmscmoreira Are you setting the env var SEARCH_BACKEND_PASSWORD to pass the new password to the ArchiveBox container?

It appears to me you are only changing the password in the sonic container but you need to pass the newly set password to the ArchiveBox container using any of the configuration alternatives. One of those being an environment variable.

services:
    archivebox:
        ...
        environment:
            ...
            - SEARCH_BACKEND_PASSWORD=SecretPassword
        ...
    
    sonic:
        ...
        environment:
            - SEARCH_BACKEND_PASSWORD=SecretPassword

Thank you @pirate and @jdcaballerov for your quick help. I was indeed missing the SEARCH_BACKEND_PASSWORD env variable in the archivebox service in my yml file.
May I suggest you add that line to line 26 here? - https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/blob/master/docker-compose.yml

Thanks!

@bmscmoreira great!, yes I think it's useful to have it there so it's explicit.
