How can I access the baby buddy command line?

[nbanderso]

Hi,

I am hosting Baby Buddy as a Home Assistant Add-on and I stupidly made all users have the decreased access of "standard." Apparently the only way I can revert this back js by creating a user via command line.

How can I run a python script in command line under the Baby Buddy Add-on?

Thanks

that doesn't sound fun! I think I know how to help though:

1. install the SSH addon for HA, then run docker ps | grep baby to find the docker name of the baby buddy addon, copy it to use in this next command.
2. ssh into the addon like this docker exec -it addon_????_baby_buddy /bin/bash then you can do whatever you need to do inside there.

Let me know if this does it for you!

@OttPeterR Thanks! That got me into the docker container but I'm not sure how to proceed from there.

Specifically, I am trying to run the following command:

python manage.py createuser --username <username> --is-staff

when doing so (within the docker container), I get the following error message:

"bash: python: command not found"

I also tried running in python3 using the following command:

python3 manage.py createuser --username <username> --is-staff

when running this I get the following message:

"python3: can't open file '/manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory"

any ideas on how to proceed? Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm not too familiar with how to run those baby buddy utilities, but I looked around inside the container and I found the file you want. It's located at /app/babybuddy/manage.py so try cding into that directory and running the command again with python3 😄

As @OttPeterR notes you'll need to cd /app/babybuddy and run the command from there. And just want to add -- you may also need to run export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="babybuddy.settings.base" before executing the command.

You guys are seriously awesome! @cdubz this got me closer but I am running into a new snag now. I ran the following:

export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="babybuddy.settings.base"

cd /app/babybuddy

python3 manage.py createuser --username onetimeuse --is-staff

this gave me the following:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I think you can take this straight from the run file --

export SECRET_KEY="${SECRET_KEY:-`cat /config/.secretkey`}"

That worked! Thanks @OttPeterR and @cdubz

Is there some way I can show my gratitude for everything you guys are doing to help clueless dads like me? I seriously appreciate it!

[OttPeterR]

I'm just happy to help! If you wanna give a star to each of our GitHub repos that'd be nice though 😊
