Description of my issue

I just tried to install synapse. I get an the following warning then error when running the installation script :

2023-04-01 00:53:03,729: WARNING - The password needs to be at least 12 characters long and contain a digit, upper, lower and special characters
2023-04-01 00:53:03,731: DEBUG - You are now about to define a new user password. The password should be at least 8 characters long—though it is good practice to use a longer password (i.e. a passphrase) and/or to a variation of characters (uppercase, lowercase, digits and special characters).

2023-04-01 00:53:05,333: ERROR - Unable to install synapse: An error occurred inside the app installation script

I don’t know if the password warning is related to the error, but I just want to specify that there is no admin password field on the yunohost synapse installation page. My account, which is the admin account, fill the requirements stated in the warnings.

Here are the complete logs : https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/uvapotudul

Here are the subsequent sub-operations logs :

Thanks for your help :green_heart:

Ok, I found a solution !

I lowered my password strength requirements both for admin and regular user from the higher (lower case, higher case, number, special char, 12 char) to the lower(Require at least 8 char.) and it worked.

Is this an expected behavior, considering all my passwords meet the higher requirement ? Is there a weaker password generated (or worse, hard-coded) in the installation script ?
