[SOLVED] Can't login as root/admin user because not redirected to root/admin user sign up page

[languid pawn]

Hi, I wanna try appwrite in my local machine. I'm using docker compose and .env from https://appwrite.io/docs/installation#manual.

But when I open appwrite in the browser I redirected to login page, in the docs and .env I can't find any default root/admin User credential, there's a sign up page but I can't use it. How do I login as admin/root user? in some youtube and article, I notice that I should've redirected to sign up page for admin, but it isn't in my case.

I tried docker compose down -v and start the compose again but it's still the same

there's a sign up page but I can't use it

Why can't you?

[languid pawn]

it says this if I try to sign up from /register

[lavish nebula]

interesting...are you using localhost to browse to your appwrite console?

[languid pawn]

if I go to /auth/register, it only shows blank page and this error on the network tab : {"message":"User (role: guests) missing scope (account)","code":401,"type":"general_unauthorized_scope","version":"1.2.1"}

yes but using the ipv6 version, for some reason in windows I can't access docker container using ipv4 and localhost

[lavish nebula]

appwrite does some hostname checking and you either need to use an allowed hostname or localhost

you could try updating the _APP_DOMAIN* env vars to match whatever hostname you're using to access the appwrite console, but i would try to fix docker so you can use localhost

I tried to change it to ::1 and [::1] but the Access-Control-Allow-Origin response header didn't changed, it's still localhost, is this expected ?

I also tried openning new incognito window in case it's cached, still no luck

[lavish nebula]

did you run docker compose up -d to apply the changes to the .env file?

[languid pawn]

yes, I also do docker compose down -v before that

but i would try to fix docker so you can use localhost
Ok, so I fixed this, now I can use localhost and can sign up, but looks like it's not root/admin user ?

I can't add more user

You need to disable the option _APP_CONSOLE_WHITELIST_ROOT in the .env file

See more details here
https://appwrite.io/docs/environment-variables#general

Or (the recommendation) you can invite user from your organization main page and account will be created for him.
