seaweedfs-init failed on first start

Summary

On first docker compose up, seaweedfs-init failed for unknown reasons (maybe race condition on first startup?), resulting in 0 admin secrets in SeaweedFS. Logs are attached. That caused the setup wizard to result in "Internal server errror". Running docker compose restart seaweedfs-init while the rest of the stack was running fixed the issue.

Steps to reproduce

Follow https://docs.fluxer.app/operator/get-started
Try to complete the setup wizard with media (logo, favicon ...) set

Environment

Version: Docker Compose self hosted ghcr.io/fluxerapp/fluxer-admin:v1 / seaweedfs:4.34 OS: AlmaLinux 10 Browser: Firefox 151 Device: Windows PC
