In docs we instruct users to use
python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))"to generate secrets for all parameters that have defaultchangethisvalue (source).Since
token_urlsafeuses Base64 encoding, the length of generated token is actually not always less than 40 characters (it's 32*1.3=41.6 in average, see docs).This leads to app failure on start due to violating the constraint of first user password (currently limited by 40, there is a PR #1447 to increase the limit).
I updated the code example to generate secret value in docs and in
copier.yml(for the sake of consistency).Alternatively (IMO, even better) we can just merge #1447
