Initial admin user password

[Falgn0n]

Suggestion / Feature Request

There should be a way to specify the administrator user/password during the setup, maybe?

Finding the password in the npm logs was kind of a challenge for a noob like me

Sure, maybe we could set it in config files.

Just out of interest: is there now a way to set the password upfront? Tooling around with PeerTube on swarm and as mentioned in other issues: it's nasty to get a password from logs for automated deployment :(

I updated the documentation: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/support/doc/tools.md#reset-passwordjs

Neat, but still interactive, right? I want to run PeerTube as a Docker Swarm Stack so it would be nice to be able to bootstrap the user with a given password (via ENV at best).

I will be mentoring the issue to an external contributor in the following days.

Can I volunteer on the issue? :)

PS: I @rigelk, sorry for the delay I had some rust code on my way.

@darnuria sure
