<![CDATA[Can't set up a Directus instance at all]]>Just installed a fresh Directus app (2nd one on this server) and then tried logging in with the provided First-Time info.

But, getting an error:
"Invalid Credentials"

Haven't made any customisations, anywhere, yet.

So please try to install a fresh instance.

Cloudron is not designed to use an external database and you will hit all sorts of random issues. Sorry about that, maybe we should make this clear somewhere.

Feb 21 16:39:29 ==> New install, initializing
Feb 21 16:39:32 Killed

Right, it's running out of memory and thus the migration is not completing. I think you will see some oom message in dmesg output. Can you check how much memory the server has in free -m output?

When i visit the Directus admin page for the first time, i do notice this error in the console:

POST https://my-domain/auth/refresh 400`

{"errors":[{"message":"\"refresh_token\" is required in either the JSON payload or Cookie","extensions":{"code":"INVALID_PAYLOAD"}}]}

And then re-install directus? Maybe the migration is not completing because Postgresql is restarting or something.

I checked with and without Cloudron user management and things seem to work.
