Modify file under /home/cloudron

[fengchang]

I am trying to setup a Confluence instance and migrate data from Confluence Cloud.

After imported the data successfully, I cannot login with my username & password. I found a post about how to restore password. And I guess this is the reason:

You've imported a site from Cloud, and it does not contain a system administrator account.

So I followed this post to restore my access. It ask me to modify <installation-directory>/bin/setenv.sh and the file is located at /home/cloudron/confluence/bin/setenv.sh.

However, the file cannot be updated. I understand it's the security mechanism of Cloudron, but is there any way I can update the file temporarily?

@fengchang yes, set the app into recovery mode and log in via the web terminal.

@robi I tried, but it told me it's a read-only file system.

For example:

root@2a790adb-5abf-431b-9fc0-9a27912311a8:/home/cloudron# touch a
touch: cannot touch 'a': Read-only file system

@fengchang you have to use the CLI tool. npm install -g cloudron on your PC/laptop. Then cloudron login my.domain.com to login to your Cloudron and then cloudron debug --app configure.domain.com. After that you can do, cloudron exec --app confluence.domain.com to get a "shall" and edit whatever files. Then, you can start the app in the same terminal by running /home/cloudron/start.sh. Once done, you can cloudron debug --disable --app configure.domain.com.

(The repair mode in browser does not make the file system editable, only the CLI does).
