After seeing the post about changing to vaultwarden I logged into portainer, changed my image to vaultwarden/server:latest without changing anything else. I can access my vault, but I'm unable to get into the admin page now. I had been able to get into the admin panel until I changed the image. I had an environment variable set but it was overriden by config.json. I tried to change the variable in my config.json file but it made no difference. As a test I changed the 'signups_allowed' variable to confirm it was being read which denied me from creating any users as it should. 'disable_admin_token' is set to false. No special characters in my admin token. Nothing interesting in the logs:
