  Komari chpasswd [flags]

  -t, --db-type string    Database type (sqlite) [env: KOMARI_DB_TYPE] (default "sqlite")

Binary Deployment

Run the command from the directory that contains the Komari executable and the data directory.

Windows:

.\komari.exe chpasswd -p MySecurePass123

Linux and macOS:

./komari chpasswd -p MySecurePass123

If the database is not at the default path, pass -d:

./komari chpasswd -p MySecurePass123 -d /path/to/data/komari.db

Docker Deployment

docker exec komari /app/komari chpasswd -p MySecurePass123

If needed, specify the database path:

docker exec komari /app/komari chpasswd -p MySecurePass123 -d /app/data/komari.db

Verify

After the command succeeds, sign in with username admin and the new password. Restart Komari if your deployment requires it:

docker restart komari

Back up the data directory before modifying the database.
