Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/games-on-whales/wolfmanager/issues/45

I just tried the sample docker compose file, and got met with a login screen and no setup wizard on first run.

Hi @ccalhoun1999

For me to assist could attach the wolfmanager logs, also the complete docker compose that includes your wolf setup

I am assuming you used this sample

services:
  wolfmanager:
    image: ghcr.io/games-on-whales/wolfmanager/wolfmanager:latest
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    environment:
      - NODE_ENV=production
      # NEXTAUTH_SECRET and ENCRYPTION_KEY are auto-generated on first startup
      # - NEXTAUTH_SECRET=your-secret-here  # Optional: provide your own
      # - ENCRYPTION_KEY=your-32-char-key   # Optional: provide your own
      - NEXTAUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000
    volumes:
      - /var/run/wolf:/var/run/wolf              # Mount Wolf socket
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock # Mount Docker socket
      - ./config:/app/config                      # Persist config directory
    restart: unless-stopped

were there any tweak made? When you login I assume your using the default admin / admin credentials and its not prompting you to change the password?

Just the issue you are referring to isnt something Ive been able to replicate

@salty2011
Wizard starts up once I get logged in. I couldn't find what the default credentials were anywhere so had no clue it was admin admin (I tried admin password, so close).

In the readme it may be helpful to write the credentials here:

    Access the Interface: Navigate to http://localhost:3000 in your web browser
    Complete Initial Setup: Follow the first-time setup wizard to create your admin account
    Configure Wolf Connection: Ensure WolfManager can communicate with your Wolf instance
    Add Users: Create user accounts for people who will be streaming games
    Pair Devices: Help users pair their devices (phones, tablets, PCs) for game streaming

thanks @ccalhoun1999

have updated the doco to reflect the default credentials to use and that you'll be prompted to change password.
