Hi,
I just installed Appwrite using the provided docker run
install command. When opening the browser, I'm redirected to the login page but I haven't created an admin account yet. The console shows a 401 unauthorized error as shown in the screenshot. Clearing cookies and using incognito mode has the same result
In case it's relevant: I'm pretty sure I previously tried out Appwrite on this machine. Is it possible there is some leftover config files on the host?

Yes there's probably old data still around


Thanks. But no luck. However.. If I click on sign up, I can create an account and everything works as expected. I would have thought that I'd be directed there on first page load but it's not a big deal. I'd suggest mentioning this in the docs. (FWIW, there are 3rd party tutorials online that mention you should see the account creation page on first page load which is why I was confused)

No, you aren't directed there on first load

Those tutorials are probably very old

Ok thanks Steven!
