Docker, Mailman 3, templates and list user accounts
I used Docker to installed Mailman 3.
The top header of the web interface says "Example.Com" while linking to the correct site URL (I believe coming from SERVE_FROM_DOMAIN). In a post[1], Mark Sapiro referred to the template system in Mailman 3 by pointing out that "a custom template can be put in var/templates/site/en/welcome.txt or var/templates/domains/example.com/en/welcome.txt<http://var/templates/domains/example.com/en/welcome.txt> or var/templates/lists/listname.example.com/en/welcome.txt<http://var/templates/lists/listname.example.com/en/welcome.txt> where var is Mailman's configured var_dir". I believe this refers to the mail templates.
Where do I change the similar template system, for the web interface, without breaking a laver upgrade?
How do I change the site name in the top of the web interface on Mailman 3 to my subside and ?

The Mailman command in Mailman Core doesn't seem to have a command for listing the accounts users have created by using Sign up in the web interface, so I believe that accounts may be created in the webinterface.
Is there similar commands for the web interface like the mailman commands for the Mailman core?

Yes, these are email templates.

I am not sure if you can do that for now without tinkering with the source code.

When you deploy the web interface, the domain it is being served from is used at the top of the web interface. It is defined by SITE_ID in the settings.py file for Django (or settings_local.py if you are using the container images). The default value is set to 1 and points to example.com.
In the newer versions of Container Images, the SERVE_FROM_DOMAIN
environment variable's value will replace the example.com domain and
you will be able to see that instead of example.com.
For now, you should just login into the admin interface at /admin/ and just create a new Site model. And then use the id of that Site in your Django's settings.py. Each domain that you add gets their own id and depending on which domain you are serving from, you can set the SITE_ID in the settings. Mailman 3 supports multiple domains at the same time.

The Core and and Web frontend handle users separately. Ideally, a user shouldn't have to worry about the Core ever and only interact with the Web Interface.
Is there similar commands for the web interface like the mailman commands for the Mailman core?
You can interact with the Django shell to get almost any internal data structure. But you can go to the admin interface at /admin/ and you will find the list of users there along with a whole lot of other information.

Is the admin login the same ser as created by "docker exec -it mailman-web python manage.py createsuperuser"?
And since I don't recall whether I actually created a superuser, will it break anything if I run createsuperuser again?

No, if the user exists the command would fail with the error "User exists". You can change the password for the admin user using the following command:
$ docker exec -it mailman-web python manage.py changepassword admin-- thanks, Abhilash Raj
