Modify user/admin password in Docker/Shell

Sometimes we forget our passwords, but we can bypass business logic constraints through the command line.
The user's password and other information are stored in the user table (sqlite3), and we can directly operate on this table.

Steps:

Running in docker​

  1. Stop container
docker stop vocechat-server
  1. copy file from container to host
docker cp vocechat-server:/home/vocechat-server/data/db/db.sqlite ./db.sqlite
sqlite3 db.sqlite
update user set password='14e1b600b1fd579f47433b88e8d85291' where email='admin@email.com';
.exit
  1. copy back file from host to container
docker cp ./db.sqlite vocechat-server:/home/vocechat-server/data/db/db.sqlite
  1. start container
docker start vocechat-server

Running in Shell​

cd vocechat-server/data/db
sqlite3 db.sqlite
update user set password='14e1b600b1fd579f47433b88e8d85291' where email='admin@email.com';
.exit

Explain: admin@email.com for the password that needs to be changed
