#1 What is the credentials

Hi, After I get this running, it gives a login screen but I do not see the default credentials in the documentation. Please advise how to get into the app.

Thank you.

Good question! The Docker image doesn’t come with default credentials, because MediaGoblin doesn’t. (And registration is disabled because this image is for private-mode instances.) Here’s how to add a user:

First, exec into the running Docker image:

$ docker exec -it mediagoblin bash           

If you don’t know the name of your mediagoblin image, try looking in docker ps output.

Then, add a user (follow the prompts):

gmg --conf_file /app/mediagoblin_local.ini adduser

Finally, make that user an admin (supplying your username):

gmg --conf_file /app/mediagoblin_local.ini makeadmin username

I can add this to README if that works for you.

Thanks for the speedy reply….I’ll give that a try.

It would be helpful to add to the readme.

Okay, I’ll use this ticket to track adding it to the README! Let me know if the steps work out for you.

It did. Thanks again.

Cool, glad to hear it. You’ll have to add additional users in a similar manner. (Maybe without the makeadmin step.)
