📄 Description

✍️ Description

Django superuser creation in healthchecks installation fails with django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting AUTH_USER_MODEL, but settings are not configured.

Root cause: Python executed directly without Django settings initialization.

Fix: Use manage.py shell to properly load Django settings before executing superuser creation code.

-python <<EOF
+$STD python manage.py shell <<EOF
 from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
 User = get_user_model()
 if not User.objects.filter(email="${ADMIN_EMAIL}").exists():
     User.objects.create_superuser("${ADMIN_EMAIL}", "${ADMIN_EMAIL}", "${ADMIN_PASSWORD}")
 EOF

This aligns with the pattern used in netbox-install.sh and other Django-based scripts in the repository.
