Copy config file

Open oliviercailloux opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Thanks for this most useful software! Here is a feature request.

The user should be able to copy a configuration file to the PocketBook device (using eg the classical USB file transfer tool) to configure login.

This would be most useful when having a complex password (user-created password with many special characters, or very long, such as those created automatically when having to use two-factor authentication and per-application auto-generated password). So as to not have to enter the password manually using the GUI.

Hi, Thank you for the kind words. The config file is saved under the main folder of the PB -> system/config/nextcloud. There you can find a file called nextcloud.cfg. It contains the following lines: UUID=UUID ignoreCert=0 0 is off, 1 is on password=the encrypted password, unfortunately I don't know which hash function is used here... sortBy=1 storageLocation=/mnt/ext1/nextcloud the location of the nextcloud folder on the PB url=The url of the nextcloud instance username=Username of the nextcloud user

Great. Then my feature request becomes: please add to the documentation instructions about how to copy a configuration file to the PocketBook device to configure login.

Mh, sorry, I misread your answer. Remains to find the unknown hash function, I suppose.

Yep...
