Hello,

I'm trying to login and have forgotten/changed my login details so cannot login unless I reinstall.

Running Planka in docker and have access to my compose file but don't know how to access the db to find my password.

Is there a way to do this??

Thanks.

Hello!

It's a little complicated, but unfortunately it's the only way so far.

First connect to the Planka container (planka-planka-1 is its name):

docker exec -ti planka-planka-1 /bin/bash

Then enter the console:

npx sails console --port 1338

Then update your password:

(async () => { const user = await sails.helpers.users.getOne({ email: 'YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS_HERE'}); await sails.helpers.users.updateOne(user, { password: 'YOUR_NEW_PASSWORD_HERE' }, user); })();

Then exit everywhere:

.exit
exit

Hi meltyshev,

Thanks for getting back - did as above (copy &paste) - have only changed email and username below
(async () => { const user = await sails.helpers.users.getOne({ email: 'my@addyhere.com'}); await sails.helpers.users.updateOne(user, { password: 'myplankapasswd' }, user); })();

I get following errors showing in the sails cli

Please adjust your usage and try again.

Hm, it looks like a user with the specified email was not found 🤔

You can try to display all users to see if there is a user with the specified email among them:

(async () => { const users = await sails.helpers.users.getMany(); console.log(users); })();

Thanks - the code above did help, been able to login , now but its all like a first install (default - demo) so have to input everything back in again.

My fault though - I did update planka a few nights prior and it looks like it/ I wiped my old settings doing that. Lesson learned.

Thanks for your help though and a great kanban board - I love it!!! Much appreciated.
