Describe the bug
Have been able so successfully install Open Archiver multiple times using docker compose but no matter how many times I restart the postgres container, wipe the bind mounts, etc. it will not bring me to the /setup screen on the initial run. It always presents the login screen. I've tried the url with /setup following-- and without. I've wiped the folder structures many times. I've wiped the containers, restarted them in sequence, etc. It still just and only brings me to the login screen.

I’ve worked with AI on this, and it can't figure it out. It suspects a version bug. BTW, I self-host about 30 containers so although I'm not an expert, I'm pretty familiar with fixing composes and related matters.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

install v0.4.0 (latest) per instructions using docker compose on Linux Ubuntu 24 server
Setup reverse proxy to redirect to mapped port
Go to URL that is set in both the APP_URL and ORIGIN env variables OR not use those and use just the IP address with the port locally
Try this with multiple combinations of just the url, the url with /setup, the IP address and port with /setup

Expected behavior
In all of these or even one of these, I should be brought to the setup screen per instructions.

Screenshots
Logs check out, systems work, nothing to really show except the login screen

System:
Linux Ubunti 24, with docker and docker compose
Bind mounts specified.

Open Archiver Version: 0.4.0 (from the login screen)

Relevant logs:
Logs seem to check out -- no obvious errors.

Additional context
None.
