## Personal server configuration
Personal server settings are stored in `config.json` and are read when the server is launched. The contents are:
| Key | Description | Example |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| serverRoot | Root URL of the server | http://localhost:8000
| port | Server port | 8000
| dbtype | Type of database. `sqlite3`, `postgres`, or `mysql` | sqlite3
| dbconfig | Database connection string | `postgres://user:pass@localhost/boards?sslmode=disable&connect_timeout=10`
| useSSL | Enable or disable SSL | false
| webpath | Path to web files | `./webapp/pack`
| filespath | Path to uploaded files folder | `./files`
| telemetry | Enable health diagnostics telemetry | `true`
| prometheus_address | Enables Prometheus metrics, if it's empty is disabled | `:9092`
| session_expire_time | Session expiration time in seconds | 2592000
| session_refresh_time | Session refresh time in seconds | 18000
| localOnly | Only allow connections from localhost | `false`
| enableLocalMode | Enable admin APIs on local Unix port | `true`
| localModeSocketLocation | Location of local Unix port | `/var/tmp/focalboard_local.socket`
| enablePublicSharedBoards | Enable publishing boards for public access | `false`
## Resetting passwords
By default, personal server exposes admin APIs on a local Unix socket at `/var/tmp/focalboard_local.socket`. This is configurable using the `enableLocalMode` and `localModeSocketLocation` settings in `config.json`.
To reset a user's password, you can use the following `reset-password.sh` script:
```
#!/bin/bash
if [[ $# < 2 ]] ; then
echo 'reset-password.sh <username> <new password>'
exit 1
fi
curl --unix-socket /var/tmp/focalboard_local.socket http://localhost/api/v2/admin/users/$1/password -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "password": "'$2'" }'
```
After resetting a user's password (e.g. if they forgot it), direct them to change it from the user menu, by clicking on their username at the top of the sidebar.
