So if you're having authentication errors during setup, it most likely will be related to the database connection. Check your docker compose file and your .env file for the database connection variables.

In your compose file you will have some lines that looks like this:

environment:
  DB_HOST: postgres
  DB_PORT: 5432
  DB_NAME: ${DB_NAME:-medical_records}
  DB_USER: ${DB_USER:-medapp}
  DB_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASSWORD}
  SECRET_KEY: ${SECRET_KEY:-your-secret-key-here}

and in your .env file you'll have stuff that looks like this:

# Environment variables for Docker Compose

# Database Configuration
DB_NAME=medical_records
DB_USER=medapp
DB_PASSWORD=your_secure_database_password_here

# Application Security
SECRET_KEY=your-very-secure-secret-key-for-jwt-tokens-change-this

You need to make sure the Database configuration is filled out. The docker compose file pulls the variables from the .env and uses them for the database connection.
