Can't run Postiz on Coolify

[pfriedl]

I've installed on Coolify and I simply can NOT get past the create user screen when I first access it. I keep getting a "user already exists" error and in the console, it's a 400 error when hitting the API URL.

I asked about this in the Discord channel and was told that Postiz wasn't mean to run on Coolify. Any ideas?

They added a message saying that Postiz doesn't currently work on Coolify, and that docs will be updated once this is resolved.

Interesting. I can't get it to work for any reason. I get tot he login screen and that's it. Care to share your EVN variables and settings to get it working?

@pfriedl What logs do you get in Coolify for the postiz container? currently running fine for me- but setup manually, not through one-click install.
