I just installed Yunohost on a [https://digitalocean.com](https://digitalocean.com) droplet.

Seems to work fine, though when accessing over the _mydomain_.noho.st it asks for a username. During installation it asked for an admin password but not far a username. Any idea what the default username is? I tried usernames like root, admin etc.

As it should have been advised at the end of the postinstall process, you should create a first “regular” user in the webadmin (though that’s legitimately confusing and we hope to transform “admin” into a “regular” user in the future)

Thanks, I added a user via CLI and now it works.
