OpenBalena Server in Cloud: change password

openBalena
1

Hi,

I have an Open Balena Server in the cloud.
I need to change the password (email and domain name stay the same).
I can’t find a way to do that.
Shall I use the ‘quickstart’ script - but that feels like overkill.

Any help is appreciated, as I can not access the server through Balena CLI right now with the wrong password.

Thank you!

I have found the answer in another forum thread: Upate superuser password - #8 by dfunckt

Edit './config/activate' and change the OPENBALENA_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD variable to the new password. Then recreate the API container with:

./scripts/compose kill api
./scripts/compose rm -vf api
./scripts/compose up -d api

Thank you

Hello @pdcastro

It is the same as doing these steps:
1 - ./scripts/compose
2- edit configuration/activate and change the OPENBALENA_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD variable
3 - ./scripts/compose up -d

?
