I'm trying to use rocketchat with docker compose but the wizard is stuck at the first stage. Steps I took

mkdir /tmp/rocketchat curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/develop/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml docker-compose up -d

Go to url http://localhost:3000

Then use the wizard to finish the install. The api call hangs and timeouts after several minutes. Once I refresh the page I'm redirected to the connexion page

Got this too.

I was able to go around by setting the admin at the docker file:

environment:
  - ADMIN_USERNAME=admin
  - ADMIN_PASS=MYPASSWORD

this will skip the wizard and save you this problem.

This problem is propably caused by the server trying to send confirmation email to an invalid smtp server because it is not configured. I had the same issue, I solved by creating an account with env variables in docker-compose.yml like the other answer suggested

environment:
  - ADMIN_USERNAME=admin
  - ADMIN_PASS=MYPASSWORD

and after the login, I configured the smtp connection from the settings.
