The initial admin user/pass is not mentioned in docker self-hosted guide

Hi,
According to this link: ChatWoot Docker docs, one could install chatwoot as a docker-compose deployment. However, the admin user/pass is not mentioned.

It would be great if you could mention the admin credentials.

For a production deployment, no user is created. You will be shown on boarding screen and you will need to create the first user.

Thanks For the answer.
Thing is, sometimes the boarding screen does not show up as expected.

Well, I think that in case of the docker deployment, one should run the migrations command:
docker compose run --rm rails bundle exec rails db:chatwoot_prepare
And then, run the docker compose up -d immediately.

It would be great if you could reflect this in the documentation.

@parsa-asgari Step 4 of the docker deployment docs mentions the DB migration part. Which guide did you follow?

I followed this guide:
https://www.chatwoot.com/docs/self-hosted/deployment/docker

It would be great if you could add that, if for some reason the user does not do the docker compose up -d immediately after the migration command, they will lose the chance at seeing the onboarding screen.

In my experience, I did a docker compose down && docker compose up -d and missed the oboarding screen. Afterwards, it went straight into login.
