Initialize via automation

Open designermonkey opened this issue 10 months ago • 1 comments

Is there no way to add the default user and at least one site via automation?

I read that there used to be ADMIN_USER_* env vars available but they were removed. I just don't understand the logic in that when everything is automated now. We have full automation and need to track 20+ sites, but we have to do that manually in the UI??

Please tell me I am crazy and there is a way to do this with environment variables and config files.

You are not crazy :)

AFAIK, right now there is no "official" way to initialize Plausible CE with environment variables and config files. ADMIN_USER_* env vars were mainly removed since their implementation at the time complicated auth logic.
