Running into trouble? Sorry to hear it. Let's figure this out.

Here are some things you can try when things don't work. If you're still stuck — ask the community for help.

The starting point is always Log|Logs to see if you see anything suspicious.

Disable features

Depending on the situation you may (temporarily) disable various client features by appending any of the following to any SilverBullet URL (e.g. http://localhost:3000/?disableSpaceLua=1):

  • ?disableSync=1 disables synchronization with the server
  • ?disableSpaceLua=1 disables loading of all Space Lua scripts
  • ?disableSpaceStyle=1 disables loading of all Space Style
  • ?disablePlugs=1 disables loading of all non built-in Plugs

These can be combined: ?disableSpaceLua=1&disableSpaceStyle=1

Client reset

If all else fails, you can perform a full client reset by adding ?resetClient=1 to any SilverBullet URL.

This will: 1. Confirm you want to perform a full client reset 2. Wipe all data stored locally in your browser (IndexedDB, unregister the service worker) 3. Reload the client, initiating a full resync

warning Warning A client reset wipes your local cache. Any unsynced local changes will be lost. Make sure your server is accessible before resetting, so the client can resync.

Server-side debugging

  • SB_HTTP_LOGGING: Set this environment variable to enable HTTP request logging
  • SB_LOG_PUSH: Set this to ask clients to push their logs to the server

See Install/Configuration for all configuration options.
