ova image upgraded to latest release seems to change its admin password

kan3nas opened this issue · comments

I've downloaded the ova image file convert it to vmdk and boot it up using proxmox.
Everything seems to working fine, the bitcoin chain is synced etc...

I saw that ova was on version 2.5.3 so why not upgrade to 3.1.8
I followed exactly what is mentioned here
https://mynodebtc.github.io/device/upgrading-device.html

Everything went smoothly and the vm rebooted.
Now it seems that my admin password has been changed and it is not anymore what I had.
I can not ssh to it and I can not access it using the browser
I tried to use bolt just in case that the password was rolled back to the initial one.

Just in case I restore my proxmox backup and tried again.
but again the same issue admin password is no longer what I had.
I tried all these during the weekend and today version 3.1.9 is on git hub so I tried that also again the same issue.

Please fix the bug and during that time what could be the new default password for admin account?

Have you tried the same thing with the OVA directly? The conversion to use in proxmox has not been well tested by many users and that could be the issue if the drive size or something isn't getting set properly.

For proxmox, I recommend installing Debian and then running the mynode install script and it will get you to the latest version directly.

I just finished doing what @tehelsper said, I've installed debian 11 and then the scipt that does it all on its own.
I had not seen this way even thought it was literally in front of me.
Everything went smoothly and all apps are newer versions e.g. bitcoin core is v25 and not 22

Now all I have to do is to install the next version and see how it will go password wise
