I'm not able to replicate the issue with these instructions, is this with a fresh install of Ghost? If you could share reproduction steps using the latest version of Ghost & the Ghost CLI, that would be really helpful!

I also noticed that you're installing with Docker Compose - which is not an officially supported install method, it's unlikely to be the cause, but to rule it out, could you try replicating with the recommended installation methods instead?

I just tried it with the ghost-cli and I am able to reproduce the bug with the specified instructions:

This is on a fresh (local) install of ghost, having only done the initial setup, and then done the instructions from above.

Thanks! I will look into this further!
