How to create Admin user in a remote Apostrophe server

Question

I am fairly new to Apostrophe and was wondering how I could create an admin user for my server running in a containerized environment. The login page is currently available at https://mywebsite.com/login

When i was running locally, I would open up a new terminal window and type node ./src/app.js apostrophe-users:add admin "admin" which would then prompt me for a password and then we had an admin.

How can this be done on a remote server freshly deployed with apostrophe? Is there a specific endpoint that needs to be hit to create the first admin user?

Any bit of information on this is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ricky

You need to run that command remotely in your container. Docker supports this, see:
