netbox not starting

[stefanm79]

So I am probably missing something obvious or have some orders of doing things in the wrong way but I just dont seem to be able to get netbox started. Tried the wipe, removed the postgres en redis folders, reset all auth but still no go. (not all perse in that order)

Keeps on reporting FATAL: password authentication failed for user "netbox"

Everything is on one machine.
Any help is appreciated as the rest is running fine and this is just the last step.

I think this is probably related to something another user discovered that I put in a warning for in the last release, let's try things in this order (run these commands while in the Malcolm installation directory).

1. stop Malcolm (./scripts/stop)
2. rm -rf ./netbox/postgres
3. find ./netbox/postgres (just a sanity check, should come up empty)
4. find . ! -user $(id -u) (this is just to make sure we don't have any files/directories that somehow got created with permissions belonging to anything other than your user, should also come up empty; if it doesn't stop here and we'll need to chown everything under the Malcolm install directory so that it belongs to you)
5. run ./scripts/auth_setup then select netbox (Re)generate internal passwords for NetBox)
6. ls -ltra ./config should list the environment variable files in the ./config file with the most recently modified ones towards the bottom of the list. double-check that the most recently modified ones are the ones related to netbox/postgres/redis, you could cat them if you want just to verify that those automatically-generated internal passwords have been set in those files
7. try starting Malcolm back up

Let me know how it goes!

Yes, this fixes it perfectly for me. Obviously was an order thing for me. Thanks!
Now lets get those 24 core's and 160GB MEM some data to process ;)
