Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1223

🐞 Describe the bug
trying to create a new user on cli

💻 Components impacted
try it on ntfy server version 2.11.0 running in docker on synology

💡 Screenshots and/or logs

No logs are generated, neither with the first command nor with the second. Even withTRACE

🔮 Additional context
the first command simply does not prompt for the password repeat. It is irrelevant whether it is a complex password with special characters or a simple one as in the example screenshot.

I'm not sure what the issue is. I just ran the same commands without a problem. Try it with docker exec -it ntfy ... instead of just "-t".

Also, you could try running the commands from a shell inside the container: docker exec -it ntfy /bin/sh then ntfy user add phil

yes, docker exec -it ntfy /bin/sh worked for me. Thanks a lot.
