    @girish thanks, good to know (maybe put it prominently into the rainloop installer..)

    but.. having switched to snappymail I can't get into the ../?admin area, whatever I try.

    • I tried with admin/12345
    • I added admin_password = "12345"
    • I added a cloudron admin as an operator and tried to login as such

    what am I doing wrong here?

    @perler ok, snappymail does things different and you document this here: https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/snappymail/

    but the applications.ini looks different and holds something that looks like a password hash to me:

    anyways, I just don't get into the admin panel in snappymail.

    @perler As mentioned in the docu: Don't use the admin password in /app/data/_data_/_default_/configs/application.ini but in /app/data/_data_/_default_/admin_password.txt! Works fine for me. Also, don't forget to restart the App in between.

    Step by step:

    • To enable it, open a File manager and edit the file /app/data/_data_/_default_/configs/application.ini. Set the value of allow_admin_panel to On.
    • restart app
    • You can now login with the username admin. The password is located at /app/data/_data_/_default_/admin_password.txt.

    @necrevistonnezr ok, restarting the app was new to me, but so I did. no success.

    I have the feeling something is messed up here. whe having /app/data/data/default/admin_password.txt

    AND the

    admin_password =
    

    line in application.ini? which one is it? I followed the documentation to the letter, multiple times and tried some combinations of passwords in admin_password.txt and/or/not in application.ini - no dice.

    @support ?

    Both. You turn it on in one, set what it is in the other as per:

    restart app
    You can now login with the username admin. The password is located at /app/data/data/default/admin_password.txt.

    that's not my point. there is a line

    admin_password =

    (not allow_admin_panel = ) AND the file admin_password.txt which seems redundant.

    I will open a thread in the snappymail categorie, thanks @jdaviescoates

    I see what you mean.

    But on a new install I don't have any admin_password =

    But nor do I have any admin_password.txt file to edit!

    Ah, I think that file gets created on the restarted after enabling allow_admin_panel = On

    I had manually created and written a pw just before the restart, but that didn't work because the restart generated the pw and inserted it into that file.

    But now I'm in:

    I would say, documentation is pretty clear:

    The password is located at /app/data/data/default/admin_password.txt.

    It's quite possible it is necessary to have this in a separate file due to Cloudron specifics (read only file system etc.) but it is what it is.

    This comes from the upstream project - https://snappymail.eu/install.html . The author changed how admin login works (for security reasons).

    The solution is here:

    https://forum.cloudron.io/post/51750

    @staff ought to update the docs to make it clearer

    1. after enabling the admin panel you have to visit /?admin in order for the admin_password.txt file to be created

    2. the admin username is admin
