Docker Authentication Fix

The error “email must be verified before using account” means your Docker Hub account needs verification.

Quick Fix

  1. Log in to Docker Hub: bash docker login Enter your Docker Hub username and password.

  2. Verify your email: - Go to https://hub.docker.com - Check your email for verification link - Click the verification link

  3. Try again: bash docker compose up --build

Alternative: Use npm directly (No Docker needed)

If you don’t want to deal with Docker authentication:

# Make sure Node.js ≥20.9.0
node -v

# If not, upgrade Node.js or use nvm:
# nvm install 20.11.0
# nvm use 20.11.0

# Then just run:
npm install
npm run dev

Then open http://localhost:3000
