After an embarrassingly long time, I figured out how to reset a password on a GoToSocial instance. You have to run the reset command, **AND THEN RESTART THE SERVER**.
It was that last part that tripped me up. I stopped reading after the password reset command. Oops.
From inside the docker container:
`./gotosocial admin account password --username USERNAME --password PASSWORD --config-path config.yaml`
The exit out of the container and run
`docker restart gotosocial`
Have you considered making your own #GoToSocial server?
GoToSocial is a new Fediverse platform which is lighter than Mastodon and has more user safety features. It's compatible with Mastodon apps so there are already lots of ways to use it.
You don't need to be techy to set up a GTS server, there are managed hosting providers at https://fedihost.co/hosting/gotosocial and https://communick.com/gotosocial
If you ARE techy, there are manual installation instructions at https://docs.gotosocial.org
This is a bonfire demo instance for testing purposes. This is not a production site. There are no backups for now. Data, including profiles may be wiped without notice. No service or other guarantees expressed or implied.
