docker on debian starts but asks for password

Dexter Filmore

Created a docker container from the ghcr image with
docker run -d --name tvheadend --restart unless-stopped --net=host -e PUID=1000 -e PGID=1000 -e TZ=Europe/Berlin -v /tvheadend/config:/config ghcr.io/tvheadend/tvheadend:master-debian
(maybe this should go onto the website?)
and it starts and I can go host:9981 but cannot login.
I tried to rm -d the container, then run
docker run --rm -it --net=host -v /tvheadend/config:/var/lib/tvheadend ghcr.io/tvheadend/tvheadend:master-debian -C
once, ctrl-c that one and rerun the "real" command, but no cigar, still cannot login.
I am seasoned with linux but at 101 with docker. What am I doing wrong?

You could try from a different browser or device just in case there are some cached credentials hanging around.

I don't know about the Docker part, but if you can find the command that launches the tvheadend binary within the container, add --noacl to the end of that command.

This will give you access to TVH without credentials. This will allow you to reset your password.

Once complete, remove --noacl, restart and then try to login again.
