[Solved] create XO account from ssh

[ronivay]

Locate the packages/xo-server directory to your from sources built xen orchestra instance. There should be a file in dist/recover-account-cli.mjs, copy this file as dist/recover-account-cli.mjs and then run it from the dist directory ./recover-account-cli.mjs admin@something.tld, it'll ask password and either reset the existing users password or create a new one with admin privileges if there isn't one with the email address.

@gskger Thanks! Sounds like an idea. Then it's just the backups and other XO-related that needs to be setup again. It's something I could live with. I'll try @ronivay's idea first though. Maybe I'm lucky there

[bxen]

@ronivay Thank you very much. I'll try this and get back here with the result!

[bxen]

@ronivay Whoo whoo!! Yes! It worked like a charm! Thank you very much!

[ronivay]

Nice Happy to help.

@bxen I tried the solution @ronivay suggested and it works on my playlabs XO from source. I did not even had to copy recover-account-cli.mjs because it was already in the /opt/xen-orchestra/packages/xo-server/distdirectory. An admin user was created and I was able to login.

[ronivay]

Yeah you're right, it indeed should be there already. I must have done something to it in my own lab

[gskger]

I completely missed that in the troubleshooting documentation but it is already there - nice

As @gskger siad, this was already documented and visible by searching the term "recover" in the search bar

Uh - I tried a lot of other search terms, just not recover. Anyway - I'm back on track, thank you very much for all your help.
