I did not change it back to true. The reason I had to set that flag to false was because setting it to true it would fail too many times and then turn off the docker container not allowing me to access the console. I could also get to the web UI before I ran the code. After running the code snippet with all the proper connection data through the console I was able to get it to allow me to log in.

I was setting mine up fresh with no previous build. Copy the code that I placed in the previous post and paste it in notepad. Update all of the data inside of the quotes with data for your instance. You can then click on the docker container and click "Edit". Edit the "Setup Account:" flag to say "false" and click "Done". Once you do that click on the container again and click "Start" if it's not already started. Once it's started click the container again and click "console_". Once that opens copy the edited code from earlier and right click -> paste in the console window that pops up. Press enter on your keyboard and wait for it to finish. It might take a bit while it's setting up the database. Once it's done and it's back at the # line you can go back to the docker container and click and "Restart". Wait for it to start up and then go to the web gui. You will be able to set up your Akaunting instance.

I was able to get around this issue today by setting the first time setup to false in the configuration then writing my own install string: php artisan install --db-host "ip_of_dbhost" --db-port "port_number_of_db" --db-name "db_name_here" --db-username "db_username_here" --db-password "db_password_here" --company-name "company_name" --company-email "company@mail" --admin-email "email@mail" --admin-password "password_here" --locale "en-US" Once I started the container I ran the above script in the console with the proper variable entries. Once it was completed I restarted the akaunting docker and was able to step through setup.
