Docker setup - missing step

Hello,

I was trying to set up the WagTail Demo locally and using the specified commands did setup my environment. But it didn’t allow me to log in to the backend(authentication error) until I ran the below command.

docker-compose run app /venv/bin/python manage.py createsuperuser

Can I create a pull request by changing the instruction?

Cheers V

same, credentials from the docs are without any function

creating superuser solved it docker-compose run app /venv/bin/python manage.py createsuperuser

thanks @Big-Vi

I think the issue with the hosted demo site is different - since there’s a single database shared across all users, it’s easy for anyone to casually change the default login (and they may well even think it’s the right thing to do, because the password is “changeme” after all).

I’m not sure why the extra createsuperuser step would be necessary here, because the admin / changeme account is hard-coded in the fixture along with the rest of the site data - if that account was missing, then the rest of the demo data would be missing too. We’ve previously had issues with the Docker setup due to the fact that the webserver setup and the database setup happen in parallel, so it’s possible for the webserver to become available before the data is fully loaded - but again, if that was the problem here, you wouldn’t see the bakery homepage either at that point (only the default “Welcome to your new Wagtail site” splash page).
