### Operating system
Linux
### Joplin version
3.2.13
### Sync target
Joplin Server
### What issue do you have?
Hi all, I am wondering if you can help me with this syncing issue.
Before a few weeks ago, I was running Joplin Server via a Portainer/Docker container ontop of OMV6. However, I recently migrated to OMV7 and Docker Compose on a new Proxmox Server. I updated my Joplin Compose file to include my new IP address and that was all that was changed as I used the same database as on my old server as I just carried over my data drives. The mount remained the same (/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-a914a7e5-3822-4cdb-a5e8-e8c7e3d13883/Joplin) as did my port and postgres version (13.1). It all appeared to work as after spinning up my container, I could log into the web interface at first and see my notes. They synced to my devices and I had all 2500 or so notes available on all my devices. Something however seems to have changed as my devices can no longer sync with my container and am getting a 'could not open file "base/16384/16469": No such file or directory' error when trying to sync. My database still exists on my server/container as I can see the files/folders. This issue occurs on my Laptop, Android Client and Desktop.
When I try to visit the container via it's address, I get the error on it's landing page: select "id", "user\_id", "auth\_code", "updated\_time", "created\_time" from "sessions" where "id" = $1 limit $2 - could not open file "base/16384/16420": No such file or directory
I have attached a copy of my log's but they seem to mostly just repeat the above error for various folders/files.

> If your app is not synchronising properly or something got corrupted and you want to start over, follow this guide. First, make a backup In all cases, the most reliable way to fix synchronisation is to start from a recent JEX backup of your notes. Having such backup also ensure you don't lose anything while you're trying to fix synchronisation. If one of your applications is in a good state and has all the data, you can create this JEX backup file from File =\> Export all =\> JEX Otherwise, you…
