How to create an admin after Docker setup if INIT_ADMIN did not work?

[dcoustenoble]

Hi,
I installed Sync-In using Docker, but the admin account was not created even though I used INIT_ADMIN=true and the login/password variables.

How can I create an admin user after the installation?

Thanks!

Hi @dcoustenoble,

docker exec -it sync-in sh
node server/infrastructure/database/scripts/create-user.js --role admin --login "user" --password "password"

Hi @johaven ,

Thank you, it worked! 🙌
It would be great to add this step to the documentation for Docker users — I’m sure it would help others too.

Thanks again! 🙏
