When using the environment option CMK_PASSWORD to set an initial password, the previous docker containers showed the default "welcome message" after site creation with a random initial password. The initial password was set afterwards leaving the missleading password in the log.

The initial password is now set during site creation which makes the output don't show the wrong password anymore.
