Installation SetupPassword.txt is missing

Community Newcomer's Corner

Hi everyone,
this is not a question, just wanted to share a problem I’ve had. Maybe this time it will be possible to check this error with google :smile:

Problem
To start installation the password from SetupPassword.txt file is required, but the file is missing.

Solution

  1. Go to the “installation-folder(roor)/Data/” and create an empty file with the same name (SetupPassword.txt).

  2. Open your console and type docker-compose exec neos cat /app/Data/SetupPassword.txt
    Your password will be displayed in console.

Hi @VlaD-T

Curious, how does your docker-compose file look? Could it be a docker mounting/syncing issue?
