[reiner2]

The File Based User Management documentation, here: https://dozzle.dev/guide/authentication

Suggests to run: echo -n password | shasum -a 256 or respectively echo -n 'secret-password' | sha256sum

On: uname -a Darwin <> 23.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 23.3.0: <> RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64, OS 14.x

On:

uname -a Linux <> 6.5.11-linuxkit x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

the above generates: 5e884898da28047151d0e56f8dc6292773603d0d6aabbdd62a11ef721d1542d8 -

Note the excess -

Appending | cut -d' ' -f 1 like: echo -n password | shasum -a 256 | cut -d' ' -f 1

echo -n 'secret-password' | sha256sum | cut -d' ' -f 1

What's the question? You could also do echo -n password | shasum -a 256 | head -c 64. Feel free to send PR for docs if it is unclear.

Wasn't really a question -- just a mere suggestion Agreed | head -c 64 kind of like does almost the the same
