First of all, I'm really happy with this project, its great!

Only one issue, I see no way to change the default admin password.
I use docker-compose.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Thomas

Hi,

You need to log in with the original admin user . Create a new user with Admin rights. Login with that user and delete the original admin user.

With an admin user you can delete everyone except yourself. There is no password change option on the site.

Created a Config setting where everyone can list the user that they want to enforce in the app. (You also set it through env variables) It should be secure as if you set the password in the config.json, the app will write back the salted, encrypted version and delete the clear text.

Updated the MANPAGE.md in 58e1857 that shows the usage of the config.

Could you feasibly update the instructions to state that a new user needs to be created + the old "admin" user must be deleted? I also got super confused by this, initially just looking for a "change password" prompt.
