Hello @NikhilPatodia

When we buy a VPS from Hostinger with Dokploy pre installed, they already run through the initial setup so an admin account might already exists. Thats why /register redirects you back to /login, registration is a one time thing.

To fix this, SSH into your VPS as root and run these commands.

Dokploy runs as a Docker Swarm service so the container names have a suffix like .1.xxxxx instead of just dokploy-postgres. You can use docker ps -qf to grab the container ID automatically.

1. First, find what email was used for the admin account:

docker exec $(docker ps -qf name=dokploy-postgres) psql -U dokploy -d dokploy -c "SELECT u.email FROM \"user\" u JOIN member m ON u.id = m.user_id WHERE m.role = 'owner';"

2. Then reset the password. Note: use name=dokploy.1 to match only the Dokploy app container (not postgres or traefik):

docker exec $(docker ps -qf name=dokploy.1) pnpm run reset-password

This will print a new password in the terminal. Use that with the email from the first command to login.

Adding some context in case it helps others who land here. When I set up Dokploy on a Hostinger VPS, I opened the panel at http://YOUR_VPS_IP:3000 (the IPv4 address is on the VPS Overview page in hPanel) and got the admin account creation page, so I could register straight away.

If you reach the panel another way, such as the Go to panel button, and see a login page instead, the account may already exist. That matches what imrja8 said above, and the reset-password steps are the way back in.

Either way, don’t leave the panel on plain http://IP:3000. Add a domain with HTTPS under Settings as soon as you are logged in.
