Hi,

So I can't find the default admin password in the documentation and tried to login to the archivebox container and every time I tried to run "archivebox manage createuser xxxxx" I get a message saying "Cannot run as root". How am I supposed to login as admin? How can I create a user if it doesn't exist? Any solution using the environment variables perhaps?

Actually managed to login as Archivebox user and was able to run the createsuperuser command.

I'm running into the same issue using docker compose and before I go down the temp fix provided by pirate, @tessierp could you share how you managed to do it?

@0xspeedrunner It has been a while since I have done this barely had the chance to work on archivebox since August. If I have time I'll look into this. I looked at issue #734 mentioned by @pirate where someone has a procedure to insert a user in the DB. Hopefully that helps you.
