I am sorry if this is a silly question but I just can’t seem to find the answer by searching. I don’t have much experience with the GCP. I was able to follow the Kopia documentation and create snapshots just fine via Kopia (cli).
I then installed KopiaUI on my laptop, EndeavorOS.
I am trying to add GCS as my repo but I receive this error and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. “Connect Error: INTERNAL: internal server error: unable to initialize token source: google.JWTConfigFromJSON: json: cannot unmarshal string into Go value of type google.credentialsFile”
GCS Bucket = same as on GCS
Object Name Prefix = blank
Credentials File = /home/user/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json
(I am not sure that is right)
Credentials JSON = I pasted the contents of the above json file.
kopia repository connect gcs --credentials-file some_account.json" --bucket "mybucket"
ERROR can't connect to storage: unable to initialize token source: google.JWTConfigFromJSON: invalid character ':' after top-level value
hints very welcome
EDIT: I am using CLI … not the UI as in the topic title. Anyway, seems the same issue to me.
EDIT2: solved … this happens if I use an outdated account key. The message isn’t exactly clear With a valid account key things work for me.
Using the GUI here. Literal copy paste of the JSON file contents gives this error:
Connect Error: INTERNAL: internal server error: unable to create GCS client: dialing: json: cannot unmarshal string into Go value of type google.credentialsFile
I just generated this credential, so it is definitely new and fresh.
UPDATE: It’s not clear from the UI that there were options for credential path OR credential contents. Using only the path option worked fine.
With a valid account key things work for me.
