Blank Login Page on Startup about docker-zulip HOT 8 CLOSED

Please try to register , show the result here

from docker-zulip.

@cmcneil Can you please check if the repo you have cloned is up to date?
The blank login page is occuring, because I changed the ZULIP_AUTH_BACKENDS_EmailBackend env var to ZULIP_AUTH_BACKENDS. See here b473edf.
Can you please reclone the repo and reconfigure your docker-compose.yml. It should fix the problem.

@decker502 This problem is related to my changes made to the ZULIP_AUTH_BACKENDS env var.

@galexrt sorry, I forget it. haha.

@galexrt No, I don't think that's it, I tried switching it back and forth, and the login error occurs regardless. When I try to register I get a page like this:

@galexrt Question: do I actually need to be running an outgoing mail server for Zulip to function(postfix or something) on the host machine? Currently I've left these settings as default:
ZULIP_SETTINGS_EMAIL_HOST: "smtp.convox.org"
ZULIP_SETTINGS_EMAIL_HOST_USER: "[email protected]"
And I'm not actually running a mail server at all. I assumed I would still be able to log in and get basic functionality without it, but maybe that's not true?

@cmcneil You don't need a working smtp server for this to work.
That's why I created the ZULIP_USER_* vars. They create an user.
For the user creation to work you have to remove the /opt/docker/zulip/zulip/initiated and restart the container or remove the current zulip volume folder and restart the container. Please check if your docker-compose.yml is up to date with the correct env vars. Because the empty Login page means that you need to set the ZULIP_AUTH_BACKENDS to EmailAuthBackend like in the docker-compose.yml.

For example for you @cmcneil, you would set them up like this:

ZULIP_USER_FULLNAME="Carson Mcneil"
ZULIP_USER_DOMAIN="example.com"
ZULIP_USER_EMAIL="[email protected]"
ZULIP_USER_PASS="123456789"

See for more details about the ZULIP_USER_* vars: https://github.com/Galexrt/docker-zulip/wiki/Env-Vars#zulip-user-creation

The only thing you should be aware of is that you can currently only create "one" user using the script.
Maybe I'll add it in one of the updates, that you can create more than one user with the script, without the need of a mail server.

@cmcneil We fixed the problem in IRC. It's working now.
