unable to login with default account and password

[changchichung]

What I do ?

1. clone the repo
2. update TAIGA_HOST to my docker host ip address in variables.env , update expose port in docker-compose.yml (807:80 , 44307:443)
3. docker-compose up

I can see the index page and I try to login with default account and password which is ( admin/123123 ) I believe.

there are no error messages in docker-compose logs

Hadn't look at this for a while, but I believe you should update TAIGA_PORT in variables.env also if you change the exposed port, so that frontend knows where API is at.

Also got this problem:

taiga-docker:

No other docker-log shows 401 or anything in log.

Any Update?

[w1ck3dg0ph3r]

This isn't reproducible as is. If you provide your docker-compose file and variables.env I can take a look.

Just login to the taiga backend docker and execute the following instruction:

python manage.py createsuperuser

Then log in taking into account the data you entered with the previous command.

I had this issue happen as well.

If you are doing this in Windows with WSL2, the disk io is kind of slow. I had to start the database first without any of the other containers with docker compose --env-file variables.env up db, wait for the database to initialize completely, and then start the whole stack waiting for the taiga-back container to finish initialing (I waited until the celery service started on the taiga-back container). This last step takes a while, so be patient.

After this I could login with the default credentials.

I had the same problem.
I decided to define the variable TAIGA_HOST=localhost. The frontend was calling the api as taiga.lan (default value), this causes login failure.
In my case, using ubuntu + docker, running with docker-compose --env-file variables.env up

@joimaradoni See again, according to your information, you changed the values of TAIGA_HOST with TAIGA_PORT.
It is the variable TAIGA_HOST that must be equal to localhost, not TAIGA_PORT

Yes now resolved my issue, i changed the variable.env become

TAIGA_HOST=taiga**.p******.com #my sub domain that installed taiga
TAIGA_SCHEME=http
TAIGA_PORT=8081
TAIGA_BACK_HOST=back
TAIGA_FRONT_HOST=front
EVENTS_HOST=events
TAIGA_SECRET=secret
