Admin password recovery

Overview

If you’ve forgotten the admin password for CloudBeaver, follow these steps to reset it:

Locate the configuration file in Docker

  1. Access the workspace directory used by the Docker container.
  2. Look for the file named .cloudbeaver.runtime.conf in the .data subdirectory.

Tip

For more information on locating the workspace directory, see Workspace location.

Edit the configuration file

  1. Open .cloudbeaver.runtime.conf in a text editor.
  2. Locate the line that begins with: 
    "serverName": ...
  3. Delete this line completely.
  4. Save and close the file.

Restart the container

Run the following commands: 

docker stop <container-name>
docker start <container-name>

Tip

For general Docker commands, see the Docker CLI reference.

If you’re using Docker Compose, use its commands to stop and start the container.

docker-compose stop
docker-compose start
