Retrieve AIO borg backup password locally

I missed copying the borg password of my old nextcloud-aio installation. The web acces is also removed (was cloudflared tunnel). Hence I can’t (easily) run the old site. But I have the original hard drive here and can start up the system locally. All dockers are running.

Is there a way to get the borg backup password without the public web interface?

Hi, the borg backup password should be stored inside the nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer docker volume. So if you did not remove the volume it should in theory still be there

Great!

I found /mnt/docker-aio-config/data/backupsecret and /mnt/docker-aio-config/data/configuration.json where a BORGBACKUP_PASSWORD is stored. Also the initial master container password is there.
