<![CDATA[Changing root account email in fresh Discourse install]]>Hiya! I just installed Discourse, and am trying to change my root user's email and password. However I first need to change it from root@cloudron.local to a mailbox I actually can access.

I found these instructions in the Cloudron docs but when I follow the "Changing root account email" directions, the second command

irb(main):001:0> u = User.find_by_username("root")

gives me this error

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `main'

Am I doing something wrong? Are the directions wrong? Is there something I might have done in the cloudron dashboard that changes the command I need to use? Halp! ๐Ÿ™€

Trying to debug what the issue is. I can also confirm that what @scooke said works but I am trying to get to the bottom of why use cloudron user does not work.

I just helped someone with a similar problem. I installed Discourse just to see what is happening, and I found that I had to change the user in that command from โ€˜cloudronโ€™ to โ€˜rootโ€™ ->

sudo -E -u root bundle exec script/rails console

That seems like a significant change though.

When I run sudo -E -u cloudron bundle exec script/rails console from the Web terminal, I get the following error (fresh Discourse installation):

Please note that you are supposed to run the commands in the app's web terminal (i.e Click the gear button in the cloudron dashboard app -> Console -> Terminal). And then you must put in sudo -E -u cloudron bundle exec script/rails console in the shell. Like below:
