@matmair that bug is closed and didn't fix my issue. closest is #8533 but didn't mention login problems until later.

.env file

# Ensure debug is false for a production setup INVENTREE_DEBUG=false

changed to

# Ensure debug is false for a production setup INVENTREE_DEBUG=true

and it works.. switching debugging off reintroduces the problem.

there are 2 issues. logon, and missing pictures same as #8533 both are fixed if debugging is switched on

it seems that the images are created/recreated when having a successful logon (only with debugging true), after this, the images are showing properly when debugging is set to false and logging into the new website.

reload webpage on the new site shows login page again (with debug set to false)

for any one having similar issues (and google) and see this: I did replace the old docker-compose and .env file (copying my settings from the old file) as there are some changes to these files. My docker-compose file was from 0.12.x release - what I didn't notice in the upgrade documentation was the change in products from nginx to caddy for the reverse proxy

it seems that the images are created/recreated when having a successful logon (only with debugging true),

"images" - do you mean product pictures, image files etc?

Did you run invoke update?
