Issues with Initial Installation from Proxmox Container and Ubuntu

[Steko]

Hello everyone!

After several attempts, I finally managed to host an installation of the OpenEMM software on my server.
My system setup:

• LXC container on Proxmox with Ubuntu Server 24.04

• OpenEMM downloaded from GitHub - https://github.com/agnitas-org/openemm.git / 24.10

• Java - java-17-openjdk-amd64

• Tomcat - apache-tomcat-10.1.34

• Postfix - 3.8.6

• Python3 - 3.12.3

• MariaDB - Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.11.8-MariaDB

Once all prerequisites were set up, I was able to access the page internally via http://192.168.178.9:8080/openemm/. However, I am still unable to log in.

Using PHPMyAdmin, I checked the admin_tbl table in the emm-master database. Since no password was set there, I tried to add one using MD5 and SHA1, but without success. I keep getting the following error:

"Error - Wrong username/password or account temporarily locked or expired"

Given that the error message also mentions the account being locked or expired, I wonder if there’s something else I need to activate or a specific status I need to set somewhere.

I am aware that I deviate from the recommended software requirements, but I cannot imagine that Ubuntu Linux behaves so differently that logging in becomes impossible. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find an image that would be suitable for containers and meet the given requirements.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

Please use OMT to set a new password for emm-master and be aware, that the OpenEMM backend does not support Ubuntu.
