Hello all,

I'm currently trying to convert a Debian based mailman2 installation to a docker based mailman3 installation. I successfully running the mailman-web and mailman-core containers together with the database container but I'm struggling with the import of the old mailing lists. In the core container I'm running this two commands for every mailing list:

    mailman create mailman@example.com mailman import21 mailman@example.com /oldmailman/lists/mailman/config.pck

Then I'm switching over to the mailman-web container and running this two commands:

    python3.6 manage.py hyperkitty_import -l mailman@example.com /oldmailman/archives/private/mailman.mbox/mailman.mbox python3.6 manage.py update_index_one_list mailman@example.com

I'm getting no errors or something else which could indicate a problem. After that I'm looking into the web interface http://example.com/postorius/lists/ There I can only see the public mailing list and the private ones are not shown there (as expected).

Everything up to this point is expected behavior.

When I then try to login with the List Manager credentials of the lists (from mailman2) I can't login in. So I thought maybe I have to "register" myself again to than get access to the list management. So I tried that but when I filled out the form and click "Register" I'm presented with an error page which titles "Serverfehler" (Server error in german) and the message "An error occurred while processing your request."

I'm not sure about the error, but the import21 process registered you so what you need to do is go to the Login page, click "Forgot Password?" and then request a password reset.
