I want to change user's or admin's password

For ordinary user:

1. Login to Django Admin (URL: /admin).
2. Open Users table.
3. Open user you want to change password.
4. In Password property, you'll see: Raw passwords are not stored, so there is no way to see this user's password, but you can change the password using *this form*. Click this form link.
5. Fill the form. Click CHANGE PASSWORD button.

I want to change port number

On production, edit docker-compose.prod.yml file: change 80:80 substring in nginx/ports section to <your_port>:80.

On development, edit docker-compose.dev.yml file: change 8000:8000 substring in backend/ports section to <your_port>:8000.

I want to update to the latest doccano image

1. Execute git pull to reflect the latest doccano.
2. Delete the volume that doccano_node_modules, doccano_static_volume, doccano_venv and doccano_www. Do not delete doccano_postgres_data because it stores your projects data.
3. Rebuild the doccano image.

The following commands are the procedure for 2~3.

❯ docker volume ls
DRIVER              VOLUME NAME
local               doccano_node_modules
local               doccano_postgres_data
local               doccano_static_volume
local               doccano_venv
local               doccano_www
❯ docker volume rm doccano_node_modules doccano_static_volume doccano_venv doccano_www
