I'm trying to follow the guide here.

same thing in the UI:

I've also attempted with 'npx convex dev' and get this same error

➜  self-convex git:(main) ✗ c .env.local
➜  self-convex git:(main) ✗ npm install convex@latest

Update: tried the exact same steps on a different laptop and didn't have any issues.

This doesn't make sense? everything is in docker and should be isolated from the host? how does the docker host environment impact this?

[ctrlShiftBryan]

Could the version of docker impact this?

Broken in Docker version 28.3.0, build 38b7060

Works in Docker version 20.10.11, build dea9396

[nipunn1313]

do you possibly have more than one docker image running?
That error arises if the admin key is from one deployment but being used on another one.

I doubt docker version is relevant, but you could narrow it down by trying both docker versions on a single laptop.

I am unable to repro - things are working when I try.
