Automatically complete install/configuration

[geerlingguy]

See: gogs/gogs#145 (comment)

Change security -> INSTALL_LOCK to true in custom/conf/app.ini will omit install page step.

Also, when running the latest version of Gogs, I get:

No custom 'conf/app.ini' found, please go to '/install'

I'd like to see this feature too. I'm trying to setup a private Gogs in which I'll disable user registration and use an admin account to add users. I'd like to use options such as Redis for cache/sessions and Oauth but such settings in custom/conf/app.ini will be overwritten when I go through the web based '/install' step and furthermore they are not available to set during the web based install.

The problem is, how can I setup the initial admin user if I set INSTALL_LOCK = true?

My current workflow would have to be:

1. Ansible playbook starts Gogs (+ custom/conf/app.ini mounted as a volume) and linked MySQL containers.
2. The app.ini gets overwritten during install and initial admin user creation.
3. Another Ansible playbook stops Gogs container and starts another linking to the MySQL container that now has an admin user in the DB and mount my final custom/conf/app.ini.

I don't know if there is a better way to do this but I can't figure it out so far, the only other alternative seems to be working out the raw sql to add the admin user during the Ansible play and set the INSTALL_LOCK = true option. Two seperate provisioning runs with manual intervention in the middle and a container/service restart or raw SQL hackery both seem very wrong.
