[SOLVED] how to recover password while being in development mode?

as the title suggests, i forgot my password. now i need to recover it. is there any way for that?

TL;DR

Solution: To recover a password while in development mode, you need to recreate containers after updating environment variables. Simply restarting the container manually will not be enough. Run the command `docker compose up -d` after making the changes to apply them. Additionally, you can check the logs of the mails worker using `docker compose logs appwrite-worker-mails` to find the recovery URL and click on the "recover password" button on the console.

You can click on the recover password button on the console. Then check the logs of the mails worker using

docker compose logs appwrite-worker-mails

You will find your recovery URL in the logs

You can click that and reset your password

i've tried running docker compose logs appwrite-worker-mails, it says no configuration file provided: not found

You need to cd into the folder where your docker compose is

And then run the command

I don't see any recovery URL in the logs. the attachment shows what I got. only these lines, but repeatedly. It could be something my fault. both appwrite and docker are new to me

Okay do one thing, run docker compose logs -f appwrite-worker-mails

This will follow the logs. Keep this open in the terminal and head to your console and click the recovery button . Then you'll see the new logs come up which will contain the url

hi. as you can see in the attached video, this isn't logging any new logs when i click the recover button

Okay that's because smtp is disabled. You can add some dummy values for the smtp variables in the hidden .env file is the same folder as your docker compose
