I successfully installed Taiga via Dockge, such as copying the compose.yaml and .env files to the corresponding locations, modifying the necessary content, and manually downloading taiga.conf.

Now I can open Taiga through a browser, but I found that I can’t create an administrator as described in the documentation.

The error is as follows:  
```

django.db.utils.OperationError: connection to server at “taiga-db“(172.21.0.2)，port 5432 failed: FATAL: the database system is starting up

```  
I hope to be able to create an administrator directly on the first login page of Taiga through the web; that would be simpler.

**Is there any other way to create an administrator without restarting the Taiga Docker service?**

I found a way. On the Dockge page, select taiga-back, enter the bash dialog, and type ‘python manage.py createsuperuser’ to create an administrator.
