The initial admin user/pass is not mentioned in docker self-hosted guide

Hi,
According to this link: ChatWoot Docker docs, one could install chatwoot as a docker-compose deployment. However, the admin user/pass is not mentioned.

It would be great if you could mention the admin credentials.

For a production deployment, no user is created. You will be shown on boarding screen and you will need to create the first user.

Well, I think that in case of the docker deployment, one should run the migrations command:
docker compose run --rm rails bundle exec rails db:chatwoot_prepare
And then, run the docker compose up -d immediately.

It would be great if you could reflect this in the documentation.

@parsa-asgari Step 4 of the docker deployment docs mentions the DB migration part. Which guide did you follow?

[parsa-asgari]

I followed this guide:
https://www.chatwoot.com/docs/self-hosted/deployment/docker

It would be great if you could add that, if for some reason the user does not do the docker compose up -d immediately after the migration command, they will lose the chance at seeing the onboarding screen.

In my experience, I did a docker compose down && docker compose up -d and missed the oboarding screen. Afterwards, it went straight into login.

Had the same problem. @parsa-asgari is completely right about this.

A simple note "do not restart the containers/compose down or you'll miss the initial setup" would suffice

@parsa-asgari The Onboarding screen being shown is based on a REDIS key. The wrong order in which you run docker-compose commands should not affect it.

[Gaspa79]

Not about the order, but the fact that running the down command or doing something else messes up the onboarding process. Like I said: the guy who posted above me is right.
