Original Pull Request: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/pull/1245

State: closed
Merged: Yes

Summary

This adds the option to create an admin user on initialization without prompting. The configuration options ARCHIVEBOX_USERNAME and ARCHIVEBOX_PASSWORD are only checked on first initialization (if there's no index.sqlite3 file). The admin user is only created if both options are present.

I'm not sure if there are some other use cases that exist that are not covered by this implementation, please let me know if so.
