Owner

Locked-out users previously had no obvious reset path in the README: manage.py reset-password existed but was only referenced in the file tree and the historical auth-plan doc. This PR adds two recovery sections:

  • Host installs: sudo /opt/nutwatch/venv/bin/python /opt/nutwatch/manage.py reset-password <username> under the standalone install options.
  • Docker: docker exec -it nutwatch ... example in the Docker section.

Both mention --password-stdin, list-accounts, and create-admin promotion.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added instructions for recovering lost NutWatch account passwords in standalone and Docker deployments.
    • Documented password reset commands, password input options, account listing, and administrator account recovery procedures.

Locked-out users previously had no obvious reset path in the README:
`manage.py reset-password` existed but was only referenced in the file
tree and the historical auth-plan doc. Add two recovery sections — a
host install example under the standalone install options and a
`docker exec` example in the Docker section — covering reset-password,
--password-stdin, list-accounts, and create-admin promotion.

README.md adds password recovery instructions for standalone and Docker deployments. The instructions cover password input, account listing, password reset, and admin promotion commands.

Changes

Password Recovery Documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Document standalone and Docker recovery
README.md
Documents manage.py reset-password for standalone installations and docker exec for Docker deployments. It also documents list-accounts and create-admin.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5cf47

The new recovery commands are documentation-only, but the <username> placeholders can be interpreted by the shell as redirection syntax, causing users to run invalid reset or account-creation commands. The PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to replace those placeholders with a shell-safe value.

create-admin to use a shell-safe username placeholder, such as USERNAME or
admin, instead of angle-bracketed username text.

Apply the same fix in `@README.md` around lines 493 - 499: The Docker recovery
examples contain the same shell-unsafe placeholder issue.

`<username>` in a code block would be shell redirection syntax if
copied literally. Replace it with uppercase USERNAME in both the host
and Docker reset-password examples (CodeRabbit review feedback).
