From c803620531660428b0ac8057b105e3d34bb5c53c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Phil Hagelberg Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2025 14:03:09 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [docs] Remind the user that password resets don't work without restarting. (#3998) Every time I reset the password, I assume that something went wrong, because I forget that the server will not pick up on the reset password until it's been restarted according to the docs: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/admin/cli/#gotosocial-admin-account-password A reminder here would help reduce confusion. --- cmd/gotosocial/action/admin/account/account.go | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/cmd/gotosocial/action/admin/account/account.go b/cmd/gotosocial/action/admin/account/account.go index aa241177d..7486e9657 100644 --- a/cmd/gotosocial/action/admin/account/account.go +++ b/cmd/gotosocial/action/admin/account/account.go @@ -383,6 +383,7 @@ var Password action.GTSAction = func(ctx context.Context) error { } user.EncryptedPassword = string(encryptedPassword) + log.Info(ctx, "Updating password; you must restart the server to use the new password.") return state.DB.UpdateUser( ctx, user, "encrypted_password",
