Now able to access the admin page

[probably-not-a-cat]

These are the changes I had to make to be able to access the admin page.

If there's something obviously wrong here, feel free to throw this away. I am unfamiliar with docker so these changes might not (probably) don't make sense.

I'm not sure what's the problem here. On the current master there is no problems with accessing the admin page. Could you describe the situation and provide some logs?

FYI, using $DATA_DIR/postgresql = /var/lib/postgresql/ "works", but data is not persisted between machine takedowns (which defeats the purpose).

I will commit a fix for this (it only applies to OS X because of boot2docker issues) that will fix this for all development environments.

As for the admin page "fix" due to postgres password, that should not make any difference if you are using our setup as advertised. As @pejter says, can you provide some log output?

[pejter]

The data persistency is a known issue, as you say, I was referring to the "admin page issue". Sorry for confusion. Also you should never set an empty DB_PASS, because that changes postgres auth method from md5(user+pass) to ident(unix user)

I believe the error is due to docker-compose run web python initial_setup.py failing. Here's the output.

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

This may be from the fact that I have rebuild docker a number of times.

Probably related to the data volume issue. Container might be rsetarting indefinitely, because it can't initialize. Also we should move this to an issue, I'm closing this PR. See #13
