Hi @lfdeoliveira

Yes, the Galaxy Docker Image was recently updated and is how it works is a bit different. There is a base installation that is then _exported_ to a Galaxy server instance (one or more).

# Breaking changes

ℹ After a long pause, due to interesting times at the beginning of the “golden 2020s”, we are finally back with release `24.1`. Many things have changed in Galaxy. It is deployed completely differently and gained many new features with many new dependencies. We recommend starting with a fresh `/export` folder and contacting us if you encounter any problems.

* * *

The README in the repository includes all of the details. This is the section with the instructions for updating the admin\_user credentials, and the other two relevant keys.

- [GitHub - bgruening/docker-galaxy: 🐋📊📚 Docker Images tracking the stable Galaxy releases.](https://github.com/bgruening/docker-galaxy?tab=readme-ov-file#security-configuration)

But maybe back up at start at the top to learn about how the image is different? If you have any questions, you can ask here and we’ll try to help more! Should you run into a bug, please submit an issue at the repository.

If am misunderstanding something, and you started up the server following the new instructions, we can get some clarity by bringing in more help here.

Hope this helps! 🛠
