Life is easier if you've got a keyboard and monitor attached (or are running in a VM)
I do have a keyboard and monitor. Do I really only need to do a user password reset, not an owner password reset?
To reset a user’s password, via console
Follow that section
(assuming you remember the username)
Ok! Yes, I do remember the username.
When I do the core-ssh:/config# hassio homeassistant update, it says no such file or directory.
I have a feeling this image is wildly outdated, https://www.home-assistant.io/common-tasks/os#home-assistant-via-the-command-line.
Don't follow that image, you'll just need ha auth reset ...
NEAT ok trying that now.
it says bash: ha: command not found. Is there some way I can double check that I do, in fact, have HA installed...somewhere?
What console are you on? Are you running HA OS? (I assumed so just due to the core-ssh prompt you had above). You don't see something like this when typing just ha?
Ah. No, I'm (attempting to) run it in Docker, with Portainer. It's on the 7" touchscreen, my goal is to make it a kiosk.
I think I'm somehow overcomplicating it, or at least overthinking it.
And I have no problem starting from scratch.
Ah... well, the commands are a little different there
You also need to run them inside the container, not on the host
(also, thank you for working with me, I appreciate the help)
You're trying, and you're not arguing when asked to do things. That's (sadly) a lot better than we usually see here 😉
Running commands in the container makes sense, since HA is inside of it. Ah hah!! Ok, I got the command line "bash-5.1#"
hass --script auth --config /config change_password existing_user new_password
replacing existing_user and new_password
(and add it to your password manager)
Hm. It says argument invalid for my username.
Looking to see what usernames are listed...
Haha...none of the commands I thought would give me a list worked...
I am trying to find that file and am frustrated that I can't. I have "show hidden" enabled in the file explorer. I'm going to take a break and do something else for a while. Thanks for your help, let's continue later.
That path is inside the container 😉
/config/ is wherever you mapped it from on the host
Then it should be in the docker folder (because I'm super clever with naming conventions!). The docker folder I found was in the etc folder and only contains key.json
Reading through this, I seem to need a daemon.json file in there. I'm trying to create it, but it tells me permission denied. https://www.home-assistant.io/more-info/unsupported/docker_configuration/
I'm starting to think it would be smarter for me to turn this into HA OS, then control it from a separate device.
Well, no, it's wherever you mapped /config from
