FWIW, a restart may be necessary after running the User commands under First Time Setup

[scooke]

I installed with the option to allow only certain Cloudron users access (just me), it came up, I entered the commands concerning Users under First Time Setup, and couldn't login... so I restarted the app and then could.

I don't know if the restart is necessary if you install using one of the other two options - Leave user management to app, or, Allow all users from this Cloudron, or for that matter, if you allow more than one user or a group.

yeah, the user login situation in ArchiveBox is a bit confusing to me as well. We are working on this.

Running the archivebox manage createsuperuser command interactively is no longer the only way to create a user, you can now also use the environment variables ADMIN_USERNAME + ADMIN_PASSWORD to setup the admin user automatically on first run as of v0.7.2.

We also support LDAP for authentication, or custom headers for authentication (when using a reverse proxy that handles auth) using REVERSE_PROXY_USER_HEADER + REVERSE_PROXY_WHITELIST. I'm not sure how Cloudron handles auth, but maybe these are helpful to ya'll.

Thanks for your efforts packaging ArchiveBox for Cloudron! I've linked to Cloudron from our README as well btw: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/tree/dev#-other-options
