Hello, is there a way to change the username/password for the Back That Mac Up app? The default is “timemachine” for both and I dont see a way to change it. It would be nice if others systems on my network couldn’t access it. Thanks.
Is there a way via command line at least? If not is there someone I can submit a feature request to?
Update, it looks like you can change the Username and password via the command line in case anyone is wondering. it would be nice if this can be done in the web interface though.
Thanks to Alex on discord:
-Go to https://umbrel.local/
-Go to settings, then advanced
-Open Terminal.
-When prompted for the umbrelOS or App terminal, choose umbrelOS.
-You should land into a prompt like this:
umbrel@umbrel:~$
-Navigate to ~/umbrel/app-data/back-that-mac-up
cd ~/umbrel/app-data/back-that-mac-up/
-Edit the docker-compose.yml file by opening it in nano
nano docker-compose.yml
-Under services, look for the timemachine container and environment properties.
Change the username and/or password under TM_USERNAME, TM_PASSWORD, PASSWORD eg. I have changed mine to nottimemachine
