User Creation Failing

[JLX89]

Hello All,
I'm excited to see that Linkwarden was added as a new app! I have the app installed, but there seems to be a few issues when creating a new user, either via the admin page or trying to register. This does seem to only be an issue when the app is setup with leaving the user management to the app "Login with dedicated account" vs. SSO via Cloudron.

I'm seeing the following errors in the dev console, when trying to submit the form.

admin-e6140dc4287cb378.js:1 
 POST https://app.cloudron.tld/api/v1/users 400 (Bad Request)

admin-e6140dc4287cb378.js:1 Uncaught (in promise) Error: Please fill out all the fields.
    at Object.mutationFn (admin-e6140dc4287cb378.js:1:5312)

I wasn't sure if this was an upstream issue or package issue. Any thoughts or any further information needed on this?

Thank you!

Edit: Updated authentication use-case context

Actually, come to find out I was able to dig this up from their GitHub.

It seems I'm not the only one struggling with this. It's a real shame, because otherwise, the app is really great.

I just tried to reproduce this, but the signup works just fine here if Cloudron usermanagment is disabled. Is this still an issue for you?

[JLX89]

@nebulon I just gave this another shot and it seems if Cloudron User Management is enabled, I'm able to login without issues. Although, I'm still not able to delete the admin user or change the admin in the env file to NEXT_PUBLIC_ADMIN=1.

If I create the app without Cloudron User Management, I'm still facing the same error.

Edit: Actually, it looks like the admin account reverts, so the below doesn't seem to work. Also logging into the account and trying the "Delete" account, doesn't seem to work either. If you login to the account, click delete account, it logs you out, but the account remains.

I have a bit more info on this. So the workaround is to complete the change in the env file and then manually go to https://{appurl}/admin after an app restart, delete the admin user, and you should be good. To note, once you make the change to the env, the "Server Administration" option in the menu will not show up, but going to the admin url will work.

@JLX89 do you think this is a Cloudron package issue or upstream?

[JLX89]

I'm actually not quite sure, I would have to look at the package. I had found another related GitHub issue upstream.

[JLX89]

Has anyone else been having any problems with this by chance?

[joseph]

Seems to work in the latest package.

[JLX89]

This still doesn't seem to be working. But as an alternative, I can login to that account, change the password and update the env variable for NEXT_PUBLIC_ADMIN= to another ID and that seems to suffice.

[joseph]

OK, glad you found a workaround. If someone else hits the issue please report here or upstream

I'm having the same issue here, but am not sure how to implement the workaround mentioned as it's not clear where I would modify the env variables

Normally using the File Manager https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#file-manager
