[MM3-users] Re: How to see the admin password reset in docker with mailman3

I can't answer that question, but you can set an admin user and password with the django admin createsuperuser command.

And for reference, here's how it's run at setup for the containers:

https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/blob/b581310/web/docker-entrypoint...

python3 manage.py createsuperuser --noinput --username \
"$MAILMAN_ADMIN_USER" --email "$MAILMAN_ADMIN_EMAIL"

For a maybe more automate-able example, here's how we call it from outside the container via docker exec on our deployments:

https://opendev.org/opendev/system-config/src/commit/ab0e6e1/playbooks/roles...

docker exec mailman-web bash -c \
"DJANGO_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD={{ mailman3_admin_password }} \
python3 manage.py createsuperuser --no-input --username \
{{ mailman3_admin_user }} --email \
'{{ mailman3_admin_email }}'"

The things in {{}} are Jinja2 templated values we supply through Ansible, you could just replace them with whatever values are appropriate for your deployment.
