Where is the problem occurring?

I encountered the problem while using the application (Frontend)

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox

Current behaviour

After following the docker guide (https://docs.planka.cloud/docs/installation/docker/production_version) I was not able to log in with the credentials provided in the docker compose.

Desired behaviour

According to the guide, after "docker-compose up" Planka should accept the credentials without any extra steps.

Steps to reproduce

1, Follow the docker guide: https://docs.planka.cloud/docs/installation/docker/production_version
2, Open localhost:3000 in Firefox.
3, Try to log in.
4, The error message "Invalid credentials" pops up.

Other information

I am on Ubuntu 22.04.

The issue behaves the same as issue #1018. After entering the planka-postgres-1 container and running the query:
'''
SELECT * FROM user_account;
'''
the table was empty.

By following the later comment (https://github.com/plankanban/planka/issues/1018#issuecomment-2635247344), running
'''
DEFAULT_ADMIN_EMAIL='demo@demo.demo' DEFAULT_ADMIN_PASSWORD='demo' DEFAULT_ADMIN_NAME='Demo Demo' DEFAULT_ADMIN_USERNAME='demo' npm run db:init
'''
in the planka-planka-1 container, the issue was resolved and I was able to log in normally.

Any updates, I've tried 3 different docker compose apps including docker CLI and have the same issue.
