You can change the username but not the password

Great working getting this packaged!

I'm guessing LDAP isn't hooked up yet from the initials install instructions?

You can change the username, did that and tested logging out and back in.

However, this is what I get for the password edit page:

@marcusquinn Oh, looks like a limitation of grafana that if LDAP is enabled, it cannot set the password of an admin user.

LDAP is enabled, are you not able to login with Cloudron credentials?

@marcusquinn Ah, the trick is to go the Users management page and not via the profile page.

The password change in the above screen shot where you manage users there works. I will make a note in the postinstall message.

You can also reset password via CLI like this:

/app/code/bin/grafana-cli --homepath /app/code  --config /run/grafana/custom.ini admin reset-admin-password secret123

Got it, recommended update to the Instructions:

This app is pre-setup with an admin account. The initial Admin user credentials are:

Username: admin
Password: admin

1. Login with your Cloudron LDAP credentials. This creates your user record.
2. Logout and login with user:admin / pass:admin.
3. Set your user to Admin permissions.
4. Logout and login with your Cloudron LDAP user/pass.
5. Delete the admin/admin user. You are now the Admin.
6. New users will need to login with their Cloudron LDAP user/pass first, then you can update their permissions too as required.

@marcusquinn I think it's OK to keep the admin user around. Especially, when we go multi-host, the admin user is useful if the LDAP is down.

[marcusquinn]

@girish Except that you can't change the admin user's password currently

@marcusquinn You can, check out my screen here : https://cloud.armada.digital/s/bRF8p7Xm9PqokYb

@rmdes Magic!

@marcusquinn Thanks for this, I couldn't find any way to authenticate to my Grafana instance before reading your post.

The Grafana Cloudron app documentation is lacking basic information such as admin/admin for logging in admin user. I searched for it for too long before getting lucky here. It wasn't part of the post-install guidelines as usual (or I missed it)

https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/grafana/

@AmbroiseUnly did you not see a dialog when you clicked the app after installation without the default credentials ?

In Cloudron 8, the postinstall is put into the admin notes as well.

Finally, this dialog is also in First time setup:

I think I probably closed the modal too quickly and missed that. And then I couldn't find it back.
I'm not on Cloudron 8 yet, but good to know discovery has been improved!

Taking note of the "First Time Setup", I hadn't known that was there!
