I have read several issues around this for brand new self-hosted instances of OpenSign.
The end result is always the same. When I go to https://esign.mydomain.com/addadmin, I am faced with this:
Admin already exists. Please login to the application using admin credentials in order to manage users.
Before it gets to that message, I do see what looks like a pop up that flashes for a fraction of a second, which I assume is the add new user screen!
In my instance, I not using caddy but using nginx proxy manager. From what I gather from other similar issues, I need to add these custom locations (see below screenshot) but that didn't work either.
I have also tried accessing the app directly by typing the apps internal url as follows: 192.168.1.10:3000/addadmin or 192.168.1.10:8080/addadmin.
If it's not working internally nor externally, then it is something to do with my Docker configuration. I"m sharing it below:
