FAQ

Frequently asked questions about OpenSOHO.

How do I avoid breaking my entire setup?

Since OpenSOHO can push configuration to multiple devices at once, deploy changes gradually — especially for VLANs.

  1. Set all Devices to Disabled (Enabled = false).
  2. Modify one device or one setting (e.g. add VLAN to the Apply list of a Device).
  3. Enable one device.
  4. Wait for the config to deploy.
  5. Check connectivity, then decide your next step.

How do I show or hide columns?

On the right-hand side of the column headers there are 3 dots, which open a menu to toggle visible columns.

I forgot my admin password — how do I reset it?

OPENSOHO_SHARED_SECRET=x ./opensoho superuser update <email> <new password>

Can I reorder collections?

No — this is a limitation of PocketBase. Collections can be pinned by clicking the pushpin icon next to the collection name in the collection list.
