      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! 🙀

        I tried this now in a fresh install and it seems to work.

        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:

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

           `/root` is not writable.

            @arpad said in Changing root account email in fresh Discourse install:

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

            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 ‘cloudron’ to ‘root’ ->

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

            That seems like a significant change though.

              @arpad thanks for reporting, I can reproduce this. 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.
