User management
Since this image is for running a private MediaGoblin server, user self-registration is disabled. So, to add a user, first exec into the running Docker image:
$ sudo docker exec -it mediagoblin bash
Where mediagoblin
is the name of your running Docker container. If you don’t
know the name to use, try looking in docker ps
output.
Then, add a user (follow the prompts):
# su - mediagoblin
$ gmg --conf_file /app/mediagoblin_local.ini adduser
Finally, if you want to make the new user into an admin user:
$ gmg --conf_file /app/mediagoblin_local.ini makeadmin username
Where username
corresponds to the user you added above.
