Can you configure FA in Docker to automatically set up apps, OAuth, etc
-
I Have set up FA locally with docker. However, when you run compose you have to set up a user then configure apps and OAuth and so on. I was wondering if anyone knew if it were possible or how to not have to do this manually? Example, run compose and apps are already configured so you can test?

Yup. You're looking for kickstart, a way to configure FusionAuth on load with users, api keys, and more. Anything you can do via the API you can do in a kickstart file.
Here's the docs: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/installation-guide/kickstart
Let us know if you have questions.

Thank you for the reply. Will kickstart bypass the maintenance mode of creating user and allow you to have a dashboard with your apps when you run docker compose and go to http://localhost:9011/? It doesn't appear to be the case and I just wanted to clarify as I'd like others to be able to pull from git and be up and running immediately. Thanks again.

Ah, I'm sorry, I misunderstood what you were aiming for. Kickstart lets you set up fusionauth users, applications, roles--anything you can set up in the admin ui.
For starting a fusionauth instance with an existing database server (it doesn't have to have the FusionAuth schema set up, though) and skipping maintenance mode, you want silent configuration: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/reference/configuration#silent-configuration
So you probably want a combination of both. Silent configuration to skip maintenance mode, and then Kickstart to set up some applications.
Please let me know if that helps.

Awesome thank you so much for the help!
