Can you send the output of this command

sudo docker-compose exec tactical-backend cat /opt/tactical/tmp/mesh_token

That is where the mesh token is saved and is populated into the local_settings.py file

Mesh might have also outputed some additional text when the -logintoken command was running. You can also delete that mesh_token file and it will regenerate a key.

sudo docker-compose exec tactical-backend rm -f /opt/tactical/tmp/mesh_token
sudo docker-compose restart

Yeah,
something like that. there were 2 lines in front saying "Resetting power events indexes...
and resetting something else"

I've manually edited the file to just contain the key and restarted the trmm-init container and after that it was fine.
