Yes, i'm that kind of user.

I'v installed Achivebox whitout problem with the "apps" (docker).
Now i'm trying to create the superuser with "archivebox manage createsuperuser" on the unraid console. but i get a "command not found".

What am i missing ?

Solved. It was the right place, but not the complete command.
Quoting from here
https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/395

docker exec -it --user archivebox archivebox bash

and after that, once in the container shell you need to follow with:

archivebox manage createsuperuser

👍 You can do it even easier in one command like so:

docker exec -it --user archivebox archivebox manage createsuperuser

Alterntively for UNRAID and other self-hosting platforms we added config environment variables to create an initial admin user so you don't need to run a command manually.

thanks.

Speaking of that, i wanted to use it for grabbing video and books on archive.org.
i've tried with video, using a direct link and could not get anything (ie : it's grabbing, but can't see any video)

Lat but no least, is there a simple way (GUI ?) to change dowloard folder(s) ?
