In App User Management First Login

[ianmcl42]

I've installed Mastodon and selected to manage Users in the App.
I go to log in for the first time but am unable to get in.
The login screen offers Email address and Password fields.
I enter my email and Cloudron password but get the "Invalid E-mail address or password." message.
How do I login the first time?

Not at all surprising given you chose "manage Users in the App."

In short, you need to register on your new mastodon and then follow these instructions to make that user an admin:

https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/mastodon/#admin

@staff this section in the docs needs an update https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/mastodon/#registration

Registration is not disabled by default as it says - at least when letting the app manage users - which is good, because otherwise it'd be impossible to register a user and then make that user an admin.

Thanks for the hint, I have update the docs to indicate that registration is only disabled by default when Cloudron authentication is used.
