Settings not saving and excluded species not getting excluded

Description

Docker version installed on Ubuntu Intel NUC. Detections working great, dashboard shows fine. Tried to add excluded species (Engine and Dog), but the setting screen just hangs after clicking Save. Went into the Docker container as a bash shell and added them to config.yaml. They then showed up in settings, but still weren't excluded (even after restarting).

Also tried changing the MQTT login and password in settings, and that wouldn't save either. Just hangs after hitting Save.

Environment

Version Information (build date)

Provide the following line from your system:

Not sure how to get this since I'm running the Docker version. Latest?

For Non-Raspberry Pi Linux Users

Have you tested with the latest dev branch container image?

• Yes
• No
• Not applicable (Windows/macOS user)

If not, first test with the latest dev branch container image and see if the issue is already fixed.

$ docker pull ghcr.io/tphakala/birdnet-go:dev

I tried it, and it seemed to save the changes, but it was still detecting engines, and when I restarted the container, all settings changes (and detections) were gone.

I've had similar problems with the form not saving. I was reviewing a detection and trying to save a false positive, which did nothing after I clicked save. Same with the config settings; if I add directly to the yaml, it shows up. Otherwise, nothing in the forms save.

I checked my logs and have this about CSRF errors:
