That's all. Now, you can use initial admin user to login (email: [email protected], password: foobar).

You can also change the docker-compose.yml for your own needs.

Note: When the SECRET_KEY_BASE environment variable is not set, Black candy will generate SECRET_KEY_BASE environment variable every time when service start up. This will cause old sessions invalid, You can set your own SECRET_KEY_BASE environment variable on docker service to avoid it.
