Hi,

First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my question and provide a solution to my issue — I really appreciate it!

In the end, I managed to log in to Mastodon by manually creating an admin user.
Here’s the command I used inside the Mastodon directory:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails console << 'SCRIPT'
user = User.new(email: 'user@example.com', password: 'StrongPassword123!', password_confirmation: 'StrongPassword123!', agreement: true, confirmed_at: Time.now.utc)
user.account = Account.new(username: 'username')
user.save!
user.approve!
user.update(role: UserRole.find_by(name: 'Owner'))
puts "User created successfully: #{user.account.username} (#{user.email})"
SCRIPT

Only after creating the admin user this way, I was able to successfully access Mastodon.

Best regards,
Yossi

Hi everyone,
I’ve installed Mastodon through Cloudron, and everything seems to be running correctly — the app is healthy and accessible.
However, I’m unable to log in using the username and password that were created automatically by Cloudron during installation.

I’ve tried multiple troubleshooting steps (checking the domain setup, restarting the app, verifying the .env variables, clearing browser cache, and even creating new users), but nothing works — it feels like something is blocking all logins entirely.

Has anyone encountered this issue before?
Could there be a specific configuration or Cloudron permission that prevents Cloudron users from logging into Mastodon directly?

Thanks in advance for any help!
