Its not an error but INFOrmation as the tag in the log clearly mentions it. You can safely ignore it.

You can also search the forum with the text you think is odd and get faster results too 🙂 In this case “invalid configuration file key”.

PS: its much better for others to see the text if you copy-paste it instead of screenshots. Your second post is not visible in the forum at all. When I open the image in another tab only then I can read it.

Check the path to the identity directory. Do you see 6 files in the identity folder ?

Please show permissions for the identity location:

```auto
ls -l /path/to/the/identity

```

and for data:

```auto
ls -l /path/to/data

```

Also, if you run docker with `sudo`, you likely shouldn’t use `--user $(id -u):$(id -g)` in your `docker run` command.

Since you use docker, you should modify only parameter `-e STORAGE` to increase the allocation, it will override the value in the config file anyway, so it’s better to revert your changes in the config file. It could be also a reason, why it now cannot find the identity - you could corrupted the config.

Yes I got it working now, I had to redo the container via the GUI docker instead and now I can even view the dashboard,
