How to reset admin password in openproject dockerized

Question

I installed openproject in CentOS 7 using docker. I changed the admin password and then I forgot it.

How can I reset it.?

Answer 1

For newer versions of OpenProject, Ulferts' solution seems not to work, but I was successfull using the information in this guide:

1. Find out the container ID: docker ps.
2. Connect to the docker container as root: docker exec -u root -it <CONTAINER ID> /bin/bash
3. Change the users password with rails console:

   RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails c
   u = User.find_by_login "admin"
   u.password=u.password_confirmation='my new password'
   u.save
   

4. (Hit Ctrl-D until you're back on your regular terminal.)
