Jirafeau admin password instructions are ambiguous

[LoudLemur]

Please make it more clear which part of the config files needs to be edited by providing a worked example in the first time run section.

It should be a policy to include a worked example for instructions.

Unfortunately I don't quite understand your question here.
The string as in 494a715f7e9b4071aca61bac42ca858a309524e5864f0920030862a4ae7589be is the password changme123 only hashed as described in the other lines of that file.

I'd agree that @LoudLemur isn't being particularly clear, but I think the point is it isn't at all clear how to update the admin password.

@LoudLemur basically, what you need to do is:

1. Chose a new password

2. Create a sha256 hash of your new password.

There are a couple of ways to do this.

You can either use the web terminal (or any terminal) and do:

echo -n "newpassword" | sha256sum

OR you could use e.g. DuckDuckGo search like this:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=sha256+newpassword

3. Then, you use the File Manager to edit line 9 in custom.php and change the sha256 hash of changeme123 that is there to the sha256 hash of your new password that you generated in 2.

$cfg['admin_password'] = '<new sha256 hash of your new password goes here>';

Update: @staff I've added a merge request to add these instructions to the docs https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/docs/-/merge_requests/42

Thanks. I got some failed pipeline email. I've no idea what that means (but I guess it might explain why my suggestions are not yet on https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/jirafeau/ )

I removed the DDG suggestion from both the code and also the docs. I don't know how wise it is to send raw password to search engine...
