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.

Run these commands:

docker-compose stop
docker-compose start

Tip: For more details on Docker Compose commands, see the Docker Compose CLI reference.

Reset the admin password

1. Access the CloudBeaver setup wizard in your browser at http://<your-server-ip>:8978.

2. The initial server setup wizard will open, allowing you to configure the admin password along with other settings.

   Note: Your license, configured connections, and other settings will remain unchanged.

3. Once complete, the admin password is reset and your server will be ready for use.
