i've been using appwrite for a long time, but haven't upgraded since 0.14

i'm trying to set up a brand new environment and i'm never given the opportunity to create an admin user.

if i create a new machine that has everything on it that it needs to run docker, if i run the appwrite "quick" start script, i get the application up, but it always just defaults to the login screen. i'm never given the opportunity to create an admin account.

i've deployed 5-6 times already.

any ideas what might be causing this? i don't feel like someone else is setting up the account, i feel like i'm just never given the opportunity to configure the account. 😮‍💨

TL;DR
The user is having trouble setting up an admin user when running the Appwrite engine. They have tried deploying multiple times but are never given the chance to configure an admin account. They are seeking advice on what might be causing this issue.

The first time you're running the engine the signup options is available

This will create and admin user and after that the signup is locked

thank you for this.

this is so unclear in the documentation. in fact nowhere in the documentation does it even mention any next steps at all.

i can only help wonder if i am alone in feeling that this is not intuitive

oh well, at only rate, i imagine this will work. thank you very much 🙂
