DRONE_UISER_CREATE not working

Drone Support
1

Hi,

I’ve built drone from source (as we’re self hosting and qualify for the enterprise features) and wrapped it into a docker image , which is then used in a docker compose file (see end of question for these)

I run the server via (omitting other variables - which all work fine):

DRONE_USER_CREATE=username:mattcopas,admin:true docker-compose up --force-recreate -V

I’ve taken the DRONE_USER_CREATE part from the documentaton here

The server starts fine, and I can go to 127.0.0.1:8080, and am logged in successfully as mattcopas. However, I don’t have admin rights, and when I go into the mysql database, I can see the user_admin for mattcopas is false.

Am I doing something wrong? Is the documentation out of date?

Thanks for your help

The documentation is correct and there are no known issues with this particular variable. You can enable debug and trace logging to get more details. Also since you are building from source you might consider taking a look at the relevant code here.
