Need more info on creating an admin user

[mwunderling]

I am not that familiar with Django so maybe the issue is just me, but this "Your admin account will automatically be created based on the admin credentials in that file, so pay attention to those." from the docker setup section could be more detailed. From the associated Docker compose file I see only KHOJ_ADMIN_EMAIL & KHOJ_ADMIN_PASSWORD as being applicable in that context. If I were to set KHOJ_ADMIN_EMAIL=[email protected] and KHOJ_ADMIN_PASSWORD=supersecret what would the resulting admin username and password be? Trying "fubar', "[email protected]", "admin", or even "Admin" don't seem to get me anywhere for the username so I can't get past the login screen below.

Hey folks, could you check the local setup docs to verify if the steps you followed match those? Also if you're trying to access Khoj over the network, please read this note

In short, the default username is "[email protected]", password is "password", if you haven't touched the yml file.

They are defined in the "docker-compose.yml" file under the line "environment". You can also create your custom account by editing that part or you can login with default account & password to the admin pannel and add new accounts in the "users" menu.

@debanjum By the way, the document is not straightforward for people have no backgrounds of installing docker compose by saying: "Your admin account will automatically be created based on the admin credentials in that file, so pay attention to those.".

I am having the same issue, i am hosting on a different machine and accessing the server from another PC on the same network and i have KHOJ_NO_HTTPS=True and KHOJ_DOMAIN=<IP> in my yml file, aswell as
[email protected]
KHOJ_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password
and i've tried [email protected] and password or admin and admin or even default (shown as the user on webinterface) and admin but somehow nothing seems to work...
