npm install -g flowise

npx flowise start --FLOWISE_USERNAME=user --FLOWISE_PASSWORD=1234

cd docker

1. Create .env file and specify the PORT, FLOWISE_USERNAME, and FLOWISE_PASSWORD

PORT=3000
FLOWISE_USERNAME=user

1. Pass FLOWISE_USERNAME and FLOWISE_PASSWORD to the docker-compose.yml file:

environment:
    - PORT=${PORT}
    - FLOWISE_USERNAME=${FLOWISE_USERNAME}
    - FLOWISE_PASSWORD=${FLOWISE_PASSWORD}
