Description
Hello
I have a problem with Overleaf giving me the following message, when trying to create a admin account using the /launchpad page:
"Session error. Please check you have cookies enabled. If the problem persists, try clearing your cache and cookies."
The docker is installed in unRaid very simply by just using unRaids build-in appstore. Furthermore I have installed dockers for MongoDB and Redis also.
I do not have much experience with docker, so if anyone have encountered this problem before and knows a solution I would be grateful!
--EDIT--
So I managed to create a admin account through the terminal, but when I went to activate the account by choosing a password, it gave me the same error message about cookies.

Research direction
Start at the /launchpad admin-account creation and password-activation flow, then investigate how the Docker deployment uses MongoDB, Redis, and cookies for sessions. Reproduce the session error on unRaid and confirm that both account creation and password activation complete without the cookie error.
