I cant login in the web interface using admin as username and my secret password. Am I missing an env variable or something?

Hey @MrPierre

Use this command below and then Copy & Past it into you compose file.

```auto
echo -n THIS_IS_MY_ADMIN_PASSWORD | shasum -a 256

```

Results

```auto
root_password_sha2 =ef92b778bafe771e89245b89ecbc08a44a4e166c06659911881f383d4473e94f

```

Side note, in linux if you use symbols you need to use single quotes on both ends.

```auto
'P@$$word$%^&'

```

This also works good

```auto
echo -n "Enter Password: " && head -1 </dev/stdin | tr -d '\n' | sha256sum | cut -d" " -f1

```
