Setting admin and accounts password headless

[pmarini]

I'm building a template for mox using the LXD-based framework of Nextcloud-related templates as available here: https://codeberg/pmarini/nc-env

As part of the provisioning I'm trying to pass the admin and an account password from the command line:

Example:

$ echo admin 321 | ./mox setaccountpassword admin@mox-mail-server.localenv.com

fails.

Is there a flag or another shell technique that allows to pipe the password in setaccountpassword and setadminpassword?

Could it be you are running setaccountpassword before starting mox? It will try to talk to a running mox instance. "mox setadminpassword" just writes a file, so that can't be the problem there. Which error messages are you seeing? Setting a password like in your example seems to work for me.

Hello,

setadminpassword is working as expected. My bad, it was indeed a file permission issue.

Didn't have time yet to test setaccountpassword, but this is a little bit less relevant.

Is this still an issue? If not, I would like to close it. (:

Ok for me, thanks!
