Hi everyone,

I’m trying to set up ZITADEL on a local home server using the latest Docker images. I followed the official documentation and tried the absolute standard configuration.

Here’s what I tried and the problems I ran into:

Default Admin Login: I used the default login and password from the docs Password1!. The login fails, and the error was: session can be created.

Then i wanted to create a User via Environment Variables

I tried setting:

ZITADEL_FIRSTINSTANCE_ORG_HUMAN_USERNAME
ZITADEL_FIRSTINSTANCE_ORG_HUMAN_PASSWORD

ZITADEL says that the user does not exist when I try to log in.

I am running this on Docker Compose with Postgres and a fresh setup, using the latest tag.

I would really appreciate any guidance on:

Thanks in advance!
