@kapa.ai getting this error while starting Airbyte instance: password authentication failed for user "docker". i am using docker compose

This error might be due to the recent changes in Airbyte where the containers no longer run as root. You can try recreating the

airbyte_workspace

docker volume. Here's how you can do it: 1. Delete the

airbyte_workspace

docker volume. 2. Let it get recreated by docker compose when you start Airbyte up again. Alternatively, you can also resolve this by changing the ownership of

/tmp

as outlined in this [discussion](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/discussions/36984#discussioncomment-9086401). If you're still facing issues, please ensure that you're using the correct username and password. By default, the username is

airbyte

and the password is

password

. You can change these in your

.env

file:

bash # Proxy Configuration   # Set to empty values, e.g. "" to disable basic auth   BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME=your_new_username_here   BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=your_new_password_here

If you're deploying Airbyte with Kubernetes, you can control the default password by supplying your own values as a Kubernetes secret. Here's how you can do it: 1. Create a file called

secret.yaml

and add the following Kubernetes Secret into that file:

yaml apiVersion: v1   kind: Secret   metadata:     name: airbyte-auth-secrets   type: Opaque   stringData:     instance-admin-password: # password

2. If you're deploying Airbyte with

abctl

, run:

abctl local install --secret secret.yaml

. 3. If you're deploying to your own Kubernetes cluster, run:

kubectl apply -f secret.yaml -n <YOUR_NAMESPACE>

. 4. You may need to restart the airbyte-server pod for the changes to take effect.

@kapa.ai how to delete

airbyte_workspace

docker volume ?

A message from kapa.ai

To delete the

airbyte_workspace

docker volume, you can use the

docker volume rm

command. Here's how you can do it: 1. First, list all your docker volumes to make sure

airbyte_workspace

is there:

bash docker volume ls

2. Then, you can remove the

airbyte_workspace

volume:

bash docker volume rm airbyte_workspace

Please note that this will delete all the data in the

airbyte_workspace

volume. Make sure to backup any important data before running this command. After deleting the volume, it will be automatically recreated when you start Airbyte using docker-compose. Source: [1](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/36783)

@kapa.ai does deleting the

airbyte_workspace

, will delete all the pipelines, etc that were created ?

A message from kapa.ai

Yes, deleting the

airbyte_workspace

docker volume will remove all the data associated with your Airbyte instance, including the configuration data for your sources, destinations, and pipelines (also known as connections in Airbyte). This is because Airbyte stores its internal data (like configurations for sources, destinations, and connections) in a Postgres database, and this database is stored in the

airbyte_workspace

docker volume. So, if you delete this volume, you will lose all the configurations and metadata. Therefore, it's crucial to backup any important data before running the command to delete the volume. If you want to reset your data back to a clean install of Airbyte without deleting the volume, you can follow these steps mentioned in the [Airbyte documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/contributing-to-airbyte/developing-locally#troubleshooting): - Delete the datastore volumes in docker

bash abctl local uninstall --persisted

- Remove the

abctl

data on disk

bash rm -rf ~/.airbyte/

- Rebuild the project

bash ./gradlew clean build   abctl local install --values values.yaml

Please note that this will also remove all your data and configurations.
