docker-compose up, reaches completion of init Step 4, but the welcome screen is not functional

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

Expected results

A functional welcome screen after successful login (admin, admin)

Actual results

The welcome screen (http://localhost:8088/superset/welcome ) contains three items, two (non functional) buttons (one shows x, other shows close) and a not-loaded image (maybe loading.gif). Otherwise the welcome page is blank. During docker-compose up I noticed some lines in red which may be errors. See attachment for the stdout of the docker-compose up.

How to reproduce the bug

Using ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS with docker 19.03.12 with docker-compose 1.26.2

On 03/September/2020

git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/ cd incubator-superset docker-compose up

…when stdout showed Init Step 4/4 [Complete] -- Setting up roles and perms

opened my browser (either chromium or firefox latest) at http://localhost:8088 Login admin with password admin (success) The browser displays the url localhost:8088/superset/welcome, but that seems to be a mostly empty screen , with two buttons, one with x, other with Close. Clicking on either of these buttons has no effect.

There is also an image in the centre of the screen , maybe loading.fig, but not rendered.

@dpgaspar I ran: docker-compose down docker-compose build docker-compose up

When it had completed, I opened the browser to http://localhost:8088 and this time, the welcome screen appears to be functional.

So it seems that in my case the docker-compose build is a necessary step, but somehow this is not mentioned at the instructions page currently. This is a gotcha. Would be useful if the documentation page at https://superset.incubator.apache.org/installation.html could be updated to give newbies a clue.

I’m testing it now… and waiting 30+ min…
