Lost access to docker Jackett dashboard, how to fix? about jackett HOT 7 CLOSED

I think a dismiss button is a good idea, and I would go further and suggest the cookie be set to life. If the user decides to dismiss the warning, then we have done our bit to point an issue out, and its up to the user to accept and add a password, or ignore it and deal with the consequences.

Try accessing the docker image via your terminal and using nano to edit the serverconfig file

docker exec -it jackett /bin/bash

then install nano (it is a simple text editor)

apk add nano

now go to the jackett config folder

cd config/Jackett

and and edit the ServerConfig.json file

nano ServerConfig.json

navigate with the arrow keys to the line "AllowExternal": false, and change it to "AllowExternal": true,
and save with ctrl-X and y and Enter
restart your Jackett image and you should have access to the dashboard again

Let me know how you go.

@ilike2burnthing is there a better method?

Hello, thank You very much. I change server config.json and now works again 😀
Why I get that warning? Do I have to set admin pass if I have jackett only in local network?

from jackett.

The original intent (as far as I understand it) was to warn native Jackett users about WEB exposure to an unsecured Jackett dashboard.
But the author may not have considered that Docker Jackett users need external access enabled even on their LAN which is a complication.
@mynameisbogdan @ilike2burnthing thoughts?

I can live with that warning if my jackett is safe without password in local address only. Thanks for help.

@garfield69 maybe hiding the warning with dismiss by using a cookie for 30 days?
