Password Reset

DockLog stores credentials only in your local SQLite file. Use the built-in reset-password command instead of opening the database with sqlite3 while the app is running.

Host terminal required

You need shell access on the Docker host. The new password must be at least 8 characters. Existing JWT sessions are invalidated automatically.

Built-in reset command

bash

docker exec docklog docklog reset-password admin 'YourNewPassword123'

Uses the same DB_PATH as the running service. On first login after reset, DockLog prompts for a password change.

If the database is locked

bash

docker compose stop docklog
docker compose run --rm \
  -e DB_PATHDB_PATH: SQLite database storage file path for users and audit records.=/app/data/docklog.db \
  docklog docklog reset-password admin 'YourNewPassword123'
docker compose start docklog

Re-seed the database

If you do not need existing users or audit history, stop the container, delete ./data/docklog.db, and start again. DockLog seeds admin / admin123 on first boot.
