Hi, i'am trying to install pangolin on a debian 13 vps.

first hurdle was that you need to install docker manually, becouse debian trixie doesn't include software-properties-common

E: Unable to locate package software-properties-common

see https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/1mprf6g/addaptrepository_not_working_in_new_debian/

After initial installation there is no setup-token displayed to complete initial setup.
Were do i find that token ?

Thanks in advance!
