Dashboard password

Create a bcrypt password from a bcrypt genereting website, e.g. bcrypt-generator.

Important : make sure to enclose your password in single quotes when you run docker run command :

$ echo $2b$12$coPqCsPtcF <-- not correct
b2
$ echo "$2b$12$coPqCsPtcF" <-- not correct
b2
$ echo '$2b$12$coPqCsPtcF' <-- correct
$2b$12$coPqCsPtcF

Important : Please note: don't wrap the generated hash password in single quotes when you use docker-compose.yml. Instead, replace each $ symbol with two $$ symbols. For example:

- PASSWORD_HASH=$$2a$$12$$/XRblNgB2iRxjAwwu8XMkeIUWYKPqH98/eWB5rNXbIJJ.quV89ezG

This hash above is for the password 'password', obtained from the website referenced above and then inserted an additional $ before each existing $ symbol.
