database connection error - permission denied for user hedgedoc #489

Closed scheckley closed 6 months ago

scheckley commented 6 months ago

using the docker compose instructions from the website and the example docker-compose.yml:

FATAL: password authentication failed for user "hedgedoc"

is it possible to reset (or set) the default password for the database?

Thanks for any help.

Yes! Assuming your database user is called hedgedoc like in the default, the following command will prompt you to set a new password:

docker-compose exec database psql -U hedgedoc -c '\password hedgedoc'

Make sure to correct the environment variables in the docker-compose file as well.

thanks, this was still not creating a password for some reason, but I removed the container volume and pulled everything from fresh and it solved the problem. It would be good to leave the above command up for anybody else having this issue.
