Login is never successful

After putting credentials on login screen, it refreshed and comes back to login form consistently, unable to login.
Credentials are correct.
I installed wolfstack on Proxmox 9.1 (latest).

1. Is it running as root?

ps -ef | grep wolfstack       

# 2. Can it read shadow?
sudo cat /etc/shadow | head -1

# 3. Is it listening?
ss -tlnp | grep 8553

# 4. Does the login POST return a cookie?
curl -v -X POST http://localhost:8553/api/auth/login \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"username":"root","password":"YOUR_PASSWORD"}' 2>&1 | grep -i 'set-cookie'

The curl test is the definitive one — if Set-Cookie: wolfstack_session=... comes back, the backend is fine and the problem is browser-side
(scheme mismatch, proxy stripping cookies, etc). If no cookie comes back, the auth check itself is failing (likely permissions on
/etc/shadow).

Wait did you install with the setup command not just trying to use a release?

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wolfsoftwaresystemsltd/WolfStack/master/setup.sh | sudo bash

you may have to do apt install curl sudo before doing it
