How to get password if i forget it?
If you are the owner of the site, you can get the admin's info by run ./alist admin in the terminal.
Otherwise you can ask the owner to reset the password.
Tips
You need to stop alist server first if the version of your alist is v3.9.0 or later as this pr: https://github.com/alist-org/alist/pull/3074
Lower than v3.25.0
./alist admin
Higher than v3.25.0
Versions above 3.25.0 change the password to an encrypted hash value, and the password cannot be calculated directly. If the password is forgotten, it can only be re-randomly generated or manually set
# Randomly generate a password
./alist admin random
# Manually set a password, `NEW_PASSWORD` refers to the password you need to set
./alist admin set NEW_PASSWORD

How to add epub reading
Background --> Settings --> Preview --> Iframe preview, written behind the PDF
/*The comma below is also oh, don’t copy this comment, start copying from the second line*/
,
"epub": {
"EPUB.js":"/static/epub.js/viewer.html?url=$e_url"
}
Version 3.7.x and higher already support ".epub" reading
But you need to add it manually (because the database has already been created, it is not good to overwrite it for you, and you will make mistakes)
If it is the first installation and startup (version 3.7.x and higher), no need to add it manually
If the secondary directory reverse generation is set, please add the corresponding prefix in site_url, and then restart AList to take effect
How to quickly locate bugs
If you find a bug, but the log.log log is not detailed, you can try to add the --debug parameter to start
It is recommended to clear the log file /log/log.log in the AList directory before starting with the --debug parameter, so that developers can quickly locate problems later
Warning
When using the --debug parameter to start, there will be some sensitive data such as account password, refresh token, etc., so if you need to desensitize before sending it to others
- Windows：
alist.exe server --debug - Linux：
./alist server --debug - Mac: Temporarily unknown, maybe it is started with the
--debugparameter - Docker：
docker exec -it alist ./alist server --debug
