Never mind the migration portion. Fresh install on the same server I am getting the same issue, blank database new keys.
Purge passbolt-ce-server
purge nginx*
purge php*
log into mysql drop tables
purge mysql*
autoremove
is there another component or files I need to remove for this to stop?

The extension does not display the sign-in form if the url is not recognized as the one used to setup/recover an account.

Can you confirm that your /etc/passbolt/passbolt.conf doesn’t contain an App.fullBaseUrl with a trailing slash.

(Edit: /etc/passbolt/passbolt.php)

Could you provide us with the browser extension debug log:

On Chrome:
New tab > go to chrome://extensions > look for passbolt card > details > inspect views section > click index.html > unfold and copy errors under console tab

On Firefox:
New tab > go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox > look for passbolt card > Click inspect > unfold and copy errors under console tab

There is no /etc/passbolt/passbolt.conf
I have passbolt.php on a hunch I added the missing trailing “/” and now it works as expected
after one last recovery in both firefox and edge was needed
I also removed the “/” and it is now working as expected.

@ganosh Good to hear! That’s correct - he meant passbolt.php.
