I have lost my password and can't get anything to work

Support

Hi, sorry for this. I have literally tried EVERYTHING that I can find online but I can not recover my password or reset it.

I am running Docker Compose on Ubuntu. I have a fairly basic yaml file.

I have tried CLI_ARGS=webservice-password=newpassword, and DUPLICATI__WEBSERVICE_PASSWORD=newpassword in the environment section of the yaml file but I can not get anything to show up in the corresponding log file.

Can someone please point out what I am doing wrong so that I can get this sorted out once again?

Many Thanks

Well, I have managed to recover my password by trial and error but I still don’t understand how to change the password (which I would like to do)

Can anyone help?

I don’t do Docker, but assuming you have a LinuxServer image,

duplicati-server help text says:

--webservice-password: The password required to access the webserver. This option is saved so you do not need to set it on each run. Setting an empty value disables the password.

and I’m pretty sure you need the two leading option-dashes even for CLI_ARGS.

If you have a Duplicati Docker image, CLI_ARGS is not supported. It’s only LSIO.

Not sure about this one, but

https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/duplicati

shows

- DUPLICATI__WEBSERVICE_PASSWORD= #optional

which (like all environment variables in their preferred style) has dash in front. You don’t.

Unlike their example might suggest, I think the password belongs right after =, unquoted.

Thanks for taking the time to reply!
I had tried it with the dash in front as you suggest but it didn’t seem to take it.

Luckily, I have managed to get in already or I would be pulling my hair out by now, so it is not a great problem any more.

Again, thanks for your input
