Unable to create Admin user

[Rouzax]

Just stumbled upon your fork of this project.
What is the reason you decided to fork it, if I may ask?

When I start the cps.py I never get the option to create a admin user.

@Rouzax The purpose of the fork is to make it play nicely in a Docker container. You may read more about the Docker image i created here: https://github.com/janeczku/docker-calibre-web
The most important changes in the code:

• Admin user is created automatically with a default password which may be changed in the Web UI
• Mail server can now be configured in the Web UI (no need to edit config.ini manually)
• Some minor bug fixes of the original code

To answer your original question: Just log in with user admin and password "admin123".

[Rouzax]

Ok, will that be the only difference or are you also looking to extend the features?
For example:

• Enable user to register
• More send to email capabilities
• database backend

@Rouzax

Enable user to register

Not doing it (admin can already create as many users as he wishes)

More send to email capabilities

What exactly do you mean by that? Multiple Send-To email addresses per User?

Database backend

You mean something other than sqlite database? What database do you need?

[Rouzax]

It would be nice if I could give my friends the link and let them register, the admin would have the final approval.
I believe there is only an option to send to kindle for email. One other thing might be a weekly new books added newsletter.
Sorry I didn't see that there was a sqlite backend. I thought everything was created as needed from the calibre backend, like covers and description.

Added public user registration in 0f7c129
To enable, edit config.ini and set PUBLIC_REG to 1.

Thanks will give it a try.

[Rouzax]

Would it be very hard to have the admin approve the user after registration?

[janeczku]

Why not try to do it yourself: You need to add an additional field to the user DB schema (e.g. "approved" type bool) and then let the admin change that value. PR is welcome!

@janeczku, I really would if I could 😢 unfortunately I don't have the coding skill to pull that off.
