Ability to change user password

[alexandrosyiangou]

Hey there! I can handle this 🙂

[muety]

Sure, give it at try! 🙂
Remember that you would need to change both frontend and backend. The latter is just a few lines of code. For the frontend, you would probably have to introduce a new kind of "settings" page, which can be accessed through a new Settings button to the left of the Logout button at the top right.
Other suggestions on where to place the password change in the UI are welcome, of course. 😉

I got 2 issues..
When trying to setup, I run source env.sh I get the error bash: export: `#': not a valid identifier

Then when trying to continue installation, everything is successful, but I cant connect to the db and the app doesnt run..

Can I get some help here? 🙂

Did you copy the .env.example to .env and add in your DB credentials etc.? If so, try to just remove the one exemplary comment in .env.

Concerning the database: do you know the exact reason why it can't connect? And can you give some details about your database? Did you set up a Mongo locally? Are you using Docker? Or a hosted online service? Can you connect to your database from the command-line or with a GUI tool like RoboMongo ?

Yeah man, I have followed the instructions on README, so I have copied the .env.example and set the default values on my .env.

The error im getting for the db is this

Error: unable to connect to database

Maybe try setting the env vars manually, instead of using the bash script, i.e. manually run export ANCHR_DB_URL=..., export ANCHR_SECRET=... and so on?

[alexandrosyiangou]

Oh I also dont have mongodb installed locally. Im running on ubuntu machine. Do I need the mongodb cli tools before continuing exporting manually?

[muety]

No, you don't necessarily need the mongo cli, unless you want to manually check the connection or something.
