Why it happens

This app's recipe checks for an admin login in the project environment variables and stops the deploy when it is missing. The engine can generate that login itself; the recipe has not been moved to that yet.

What the log looks like

Deploy log
Failed to start app: The service env-check did not start (exited with code 1), so the application was not started either. It printed: seanime: missing project environment variable SEANIME_PASSWORD. Seanime refuses remote (non-local) access without a server password; set SEANIME_PASSWORD (writing any $ as $$), then redeploy. The full output is in the deploy log.
