Hi,

I would like my username on a fresh install of the AIO to be sirnano.

How do I set the default username for the Nextcloud AIO?

I have tried using --env ADMIN_USER=sirnano --env NC_ADMIN_USER=sirnano but neither of these will make the default username during install sirnano and it stays as the default admin.

If it matters, I am using Docker + Portainer, and I am using the normal docker run command through SSH to deploy the master container.

Thanks,
SirNano

Hi, you cannot adjust the initial username but you can after the initial installation simply create a new admin user with any name and disable or even delete the default one.

Hi, I ended up solving this issue by execing into the container and modifying a few files (namely php/containers.json) to change the ADMIN_USER env to sirnano. This worked flawlessly.

What is the initial AIO username and password? I’ve successfully installed a local only instance, on first attempt it’s asking for a username and password.

You should see the initial credentials in the AIO interface on port 8080
