Getting Bridge Password?

[DiscordiaMatrix]

I am new to docker, and I am having a very hard time figuring out how to get the bridge password that is created when hydroxide first logs in. I tried docker log, but that didn't show that output.

Is there a specific command I can run when doing docker-compose to re-create the container that will have hydroxide show me the output? Or is there a better method?

Hi @DiscordiaChaos :wave:

Once the container is running, you should find the bridge password at /opt/hydroxide-container/data-hydroxide/info.json

The file should contain the following data:

{
    'user': 'you@yourwebsite.com',
    'hash': 'yourhyDrOxIdEhaShHerE' // <---- for example sake, it will look different of course
}

On your local system, you can draw this information from that folder to make a SMTP call on the same port as your hydroxide container.

Are you familiar with python? If so, the send_mail.py file provides an example of how to access that file and send a test message.

Does that help answer your question?

Thank you, that does help.

I did try the send_mail.py just now but I saw this error (emails replaced below as to not expose them)

root@www:~/hydroxide-docker-master# python send_mail.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "send_mail.py", line 115, in <module>
    example()
  File "send_mail.py", line 104, in example
    send('SENDER','RECEIVER','Test message','This is a test message to verify that this script is working accordingly.')
  File "send_mail.py", line 72, in send
    mailserver.login(account, password)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 623, in login
    raise SMTPAuthenticationError(code, resp)
smtplib.SMTPAuthenticationError: (454, '4.7.0 Invalid username or password')

I will try to completely redo the container fresh and see if it helps. The login and password should be correct, but I'll make 100% sure of it when redoing it.

Gotcha! Yes, try cloning the repository again. Carefully enter your password into the docker config, and let me know if you see the same error.

Alright, so I downloaded it fresh and everything, but it's still saying this on the send_mail.py:

 File "/usr/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 623, in login
    raise SMTPAuthenticationError(code, resp)
smtplib.SMTPAuthenticationError: (454, '4.7.0 Invalid username or password')

I checked in that account's authentication logs and it shows the login was successful from the server's IP address. Should I open a different ticket to debug that?

[DiscordiaMatrix]

Oh it was User Error! I ran docker run -it -p 1025:1025 -v /opt/hydroxide-container/data-hydroxide:/data hydroxide and the docker-compose command after... no wonder I was having issues. Thank you for your help. :)

Thanks for reporting back @DiscordiaChaos, that's great news that it worked out!
