Error when creating superuser in fresh install

My actions before raising this issue

• Read/searched the docs
• Searched past issues

Expected Behaviour

After building the docker I expect to be able to create a super user with the following command from the installation guide:

 docker exec -it cvat bash -ic 'python3 ~/manage.py createsuperuser'

Current Behaviour

Instead I get the following error message:

You have 54 unapplied migration(s). Your project may not work properly until you apply the migrations for app(s): account, admin, auth, authtoken, contenttypes, engine, git, sessions, sites, socialaccount.
Run 'python manage.py migrate' to apply them.

Traceback (most recent call last):

                                                             ^


The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Perhaps something with a database?

Possible Solution

?

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. git clone https://github.com/opencv/cvat.git
2. docker-compose build
3. docker-compose up -d
4. docker exec -it cvat bash -ic ‘python3 ~/manage.py createsuperuser’

Context

I tried this on a pc which had an older version of CVAT running without problems. I also tried it on another pc which did not have a previous install of CVAT to be sure.

Your Environment

• Git hash commit (git log -1):
• Docker version docker version (e.g. Docker 17.0.05):
• Are you using Docker Swarm or Kubernetes? I don’t know, for sure not kubernetes.
• Operating System and version (e.g. Linux, Windows, MacOS):
• Code example or link to GitHub repo or gist to reproduce problem:
• Other diagnostic information / logs:
  Logs from `cvat` container

Update: A sudo chmod -R o+rX . after the git clone ... and cd cvat makes it work even if I have umask 077 as my usermask. Seems to be a permissions thing on something in the repo. I recommend finding what that thing is and maybe changing permissions in the docker container. IMHO, people should be able to have restrictive permissions in their home dir.

This is exactly what happened to me, after changing my django files running in docker, i simply lost access to the django admin, i saw that the problem was the postgresql volume, apparently for some reason i lost the database access credentials by django, the solution: delete the images, volumes and start all over again, with the python manage.py migrate and python manage.py createsuperuser commands
