502 error after setting auto create user?

I’m using stock docker compose setup, unmodified.

I copied the .env-dist to .env and uncommented the 3 Auto create user options. I set the username, password, and admin level to 0. Everything else was left the same. When these 3 variables are commented out TTRSS opens in a browser just fine but of course i can’t log in since i don’t have username/pass.

But when i uncomment the 3 aforementioned options i get a 502 error from nginx.

Am i going about creating an account the wrong?

The auto create variables I’m referring to are:

#AUTO_CREATE_USER=my_username
#AUTO_CREATE_USER_PASS=my_password
#AUTO_CREATE_USER_ACCESS_LEVEL=0 # see above

i can’t help you because there’s no information here. post logs.

Ok, i fixed that error. The issue was that by default the .env file says ‘# see above’ after access level. By removing that comment.

But how do i enable API access in settings?
