Restore Passwords To Recover Admin User Rights: setenv.sh

Question

Hi,

I am not able to inject the setenv.sh to restore the admin user right from a imported cloud site-backup on my server-version:

Tutorial: https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/restore-passwords-to-recover-admin-user-rights-158390.html?_ga=2.230325340.1533054907.1545952478-1044970277.1545589042

CMD:

kubectl exec [container_id] -- mkdir /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence/bin

--> Works (but confusing that the bin folder is not already present?)

kubectl exec [container_id] -- touch /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence/bin/setenv.sh

--> Works (cat results emty content for created .sh file)

kubectl exec [container_id] -- echo "-Datlassian.recovery.password=<pw>" >> /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence/bin/setenv.sh

--> Does not work:

--> -bash: /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence/bin/setenv.sh: No such file or directory

How can this be the case?

Your support is very appreciated :)

That's weird,  never had this before. Maybe something with rocker? I'm not so used to that.

@Bastian Stehmannyes the default installation directory on the official docker image is also /opt/atlassian/confluence and the /bin/setenv.sh is already located in there.

But the problem persists:

I can cat the file and the contents of setenv.sh gets successfully prompted.

But if I try to append the recovery pw line, bash says the file does not exist?!

echo "-Datlassian.recovery.password=<pw>" >> /opt/atlassian/confluence/bin/setenv.sh

--> -bash: /opt/atlassian/confluence/bin/setenv.sh: No such file or directory

How can that be the case?

Hmm, I'm not sure where it is on the docker image.

Default when using the installer is /opt/atlassian/confluence
