Can you provide a suggestion on how to run 'archivebox manage createsuperuser' directly from within a bash script without the need to start a docker shell first using 'sudo docker exec -it --user archivebox archivebox /bin/bash' and also, if possible, how to just pass directly the userid, email, and password, so that the whole thing can just be managed from within said bash script?

Here are the instructions on how to script adding a user / modifying the DB directly: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Upgrading-or-Merging-Archives#example-adding-a-new-user-with-a-hashed-password

We may add an ADMIN_USER=xxx ADMIN_PASSWORD=xxx environment variable in the future to automate setting those on initial setup, but those options don't exist yet. Follow this issue for progress: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/734
