generate.py does not generate .env file

Hi,

generate.py does not generate .env file where the password for grafana is stored, am i supposed to create it myself?

Could you attach a screenshot or console output please?
Informations about your system setup, os, python version, etc. would also be nice to have.

There is none console output, i don't know where to set the password for grafana.
OS: Ubuntu 22.04
python: 3.8

Followed the "guide" step by step on the frontpage.

There's supposed to be a .env file here right?

Please try ls -lisa and check if the file was generated.
I will look into this tomorrow.

Apparently it was hidden, i found it - thanks!

Hmm something is wrong, i tried deleting the folder and rebuild it then use the password - however i can't login still.
Even though i use the password from the .env file.
Do you have any ideas if something is holding onto the old password?

@Laukage
docker exec into the grafana docker container.
Get the docker name with docker ps.
Something like docker exec -it <docker name>
Use the grafana-cli to change your password manually.
sudo grafana-cli admin reset-admin-password pwd123

You don't have to do this every time since it's stored in the volume.
