immich reset-admin-password not working
Looked at the previous thread but the work around doesnt seem to work - using official docker compose and following the docs i get:
and trying to call it directly i get MODULE_NOT_FOUND
node immich-admin reset-admin-password

Is it not using immich CLI ? ( I dunno at all, throwing this idea like this...)
just following the docs, i dont know the inner workings - https://documentation.immich.app/docs/administration/server-commands
Server Commands | Immich
The immich-server docker image comes preinstalled with an administrative CLI (immich-admin) that supports the following commands:
Okay nvm
ok i see - the text above says to use
immich-admin
but the screen shot(?) of the command running does not show immich-admin
, just immich

Oh it looks like an error in the docs
Did you try
immich-admin reset-admin-password
?yes, the docs should be updated with the correct comands vs a note that says you need to change the examples 🙂
Feel free to open a PR with new screenshots or replace them with code blocks

Also use text for examples so they can be easily copied and updated.
The docker containers do not show /usr/src/app # - they just show # - this is output from my current running install.This is true, but IMHO, just looking at the documentation it is not very obvious that is what that symbol is supposed to represent. In docs,
$
is more often used for that.
It is also sometimes confusing for some people to know whether that symbol needs to be copied or not. Most terminals show the current working directory, Code block > copy will select that character even though it doesn't need to be included in the command you run. So I thought it would be good to make it more obvious one way or the other.
I would prefer removing the leading #
and just have the first line to a copy-paste-able line without extra characters.done, please feel free to squash when you merge
