Lemmy instance federation - how to switch from Allowlist to Open (lemmy.alfi.casa)

Hi, As a small project i've set up an instance using the docker documentation available here: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html

As I was troubleshooting in early stages, i've added some instances to the Allow list. Now If I undestand correctly, only these instances will be allowed for federation. How do I clear that list to go back to "Open", in order to not have to explicitely list the allowed instances?

As an additional question, is there an easy way to reset the postgresql DB password?

Thanks!

Yep just leave those fields empty and should be all good. If you look at /instances you should see empty blocked/allow

Alright, so in the admin settings page, the allowed instances page appeared empty, just by staying on the page and hitting refresh, the list of allowed instances appeared. I removed them all, and now it seems the linked instances is growing.

Good question, my assumption is, that clearing the allowed list automatically opens it, but yea, from the documentation it's not really clear.
