Exporting Projects Script Erroring #412
Description
Hi all,
I want to be able to access my files from another location on my server, as such I found this script online:
bin/docker-compose exec sharelatex /bin/bash -ce "cd /overleaf/services/web && node modules/server-ce-scripts/scripts/export-user-projects.mjs --export-all --output-dir=/var/lib/overleaf/data/exports"
from here: https://docs.overleaf.com/on-premises/maintenance/data-and-backups/exporting-projects
when I run this I get:
{"name":"default","hostname":"36cdbd5d3dbb","pid":480,"level":40,"msg":"graceful shutdown: started shutdown sequence","time":"2025-12-05T00:05:10.140Z","v":0}

I have just done a fresh install for unrelated reasons so the fix is not updating overleaf toolkit.
I have changed the overleaf port from default, and set listen ip to 0.0.0.0, other than that I have made no config changes.
Does anyone know why this script isn't working?
Or another way to export the files (.tex, .aux, etc.) from all projects from the host device.
Many thanks
