I just installed CapRover on my server and I forgot my password ‍♂️ but I still have access via SSH normally.

How could I reset it?

Answer 1

You can run these commands as the documentation mentioned:

docker service scale captain-captain=0

Backup config

cp /captain/data/config-captain.json /captain/data/config-captain.json.backup

Delete old password

jq 'del(.hashedPassword)' /captain/data/config-captain.json > /captain/data/config-captain.json.new
cat /captain/data/config-captain.json.new > /captain/data/config-captain.json
rm /captain/data/config-captain.json.new

Set a temporary password

docker service update --env-add DEFAULT_PASSWORD=captain42 captain-captain
docker service scale captain-captain=1
