Creating an admin user

How to create an admin user can be found in the admin cli documentation. You will need to run these commands within the compose-mastodon-web docker container. Example:

tootctl accounts create dcomms-admin --email dcomms-admin@example.org --role Owner --confirmed

This will display a automatically generated password that can be used on first login.
