Thanks for this awesome software. I know this was covered in this thread:

> Had the exact same issue. When you have done a clean install and all your parameters is set, do a docker-compose down and then up again. Then you can login with the username and password you have chosen in the install guide…
(which is how I got passed it). But I just wanted to bump this as I spent a number of hours this morning troubleshooting this. I hope it’s not just a mistake we are all (from the thread) making, but if not, it’s not intuitive that the whole stack needs to go down then up again to get the password to work.

Hi @bowlineyogurt and thanks for the positive feedback.
Could you please precise the version your are using ?
and just to precise, having to restart the docker container to be able to log in for the first time is **not** a feature of the app 🙂 :
It is rather an issue with the launch when the docker container starts too quick and tries to contact the DB before it is ready.
This is issue is (to the best of our knowledge) solved in v3. Could you give a try with the rc ? (there is a test 3.0-rc image on docker hub)
Happy file sharing!
