Insufficient documentation

Hi,

I would like to the the SurrealDB and I’m following the steps on the site but it doesn’t work and I don’t find information what’s wrong.

I’ve started the server with docker run --name surrealdb -d -p 8000:8000 surrealdb/surrealdb:latest start as it’s mentioned in the install page. I’ve copied the Node.js example code from here but when I start it gives error:

ERROR r [AuthenticationError]: There was a problem with authentication

I think the problem is that, the container started without user/pass, but the example code use root for them, but if I skip them, in db.signin I’ve got the same problem. If I skip the whole signin I’ve got

ERROR Error: There was a problem with the database: The table does not exist

@koakh you are right, with --user root --pass root works fine. Thanks!

By the way, if it’s intentional just need to update the docker run commands in the docs.

Glad to know you are ready @icebob @tobiemh is the best person to finish this issue, and improve the docs, etc
