Hello community,

Allow me to ask a question, even though I’m a complete newbie. I’ve been trying to install RASA with Docker for a few days. To do this, I downloaded the latest Docker-Rasa image ([https://hub.docker.com/r/rasa/rasa-x/tags](https://hub.docker.com/r/rasa/rasa-x/tags)) and installed it (because it was supposedly easier). I now have a db container, a rasa-1 container and a rasa-x container in Docker. I can start and stop them and output the logs. However, the rasa-1 and rasa-x containers always stop after a few seconds.

I get this message via docker logs ki-luna-rasa-x-1

```auto
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/psycopg2/ __init__.py", line 122, in connect
    conn = _connect(dsn, connection_factory=connection_factory, **kwasync)
psycopg2.OperationalError: connection to server at "db" (172.18.0.2), port 5432 failed: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "admin"

```

The user name and password in the “docker-compose.yml” are not accepted. But I can log into the database via cmd with the logins:

`docker exec -it ki-luna-db-1 psql -U admin -d rasa`

I’ve been going around in circles for days now.

I haven’t found any “instructions for newbies” on Google. Is there perhaps a “step-by-step” guide like this?

I hope anyone can help me, Best wishes Gersh
