[solved] Admin login button unresponsive

Support

My YunoHost server

Hardware: Raspberry Pi 4 at home
YunoHost version: recent (I can’t access the exact version)
I have access to my server : through the webadmin
Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance ? : no

Description of my issue

The green login button to get to the admin interface is not active: hovering over it doesn’t change the cursor and clicking on it doesn’t do anything. I can’t log in as admin.

Same behaviour on Firefox or Chrome, both on linux.

That’s typically because the yunohost-api is down so you should debug it using SSH with sudo journalctl -u yunohost-api -n 50 --no-pager --no-hostname

Alternatively, there’s a known issue that the button is greyed out right after the postinstall but refreshing the page solves the issue

I found a way to make it happen: just restart the Borg backup service (it stopped working some months ago, I’m trying to revive it).

sudo journalctl -u yunohost-api -n 50 --no-pager --no-hostname doesn’t tell me much, just this around that the time of restart:
