Hey, @robbiibadi
Try something like this:

docker-compose run django python manage.py createsuperuser

This code runs 'python manage.py createsuperuser' in django container

No such service: django

Any suggestions?

Hi @vchaptsev

Successfully created a user - one more question. How do I access the vue-cli from docker?

Kind Regards

Something like this:

docker-compose run frontend <your command>

# for example:
docker-compose run frontend npm run lint

Okay awesome! It worked - thank you so much for helping me out.

docker-compose run backend python manage.py createsuperuser

gives me ERROR: No such service: backend

both commands don't work for me. Any other ideas?

Nevermind I found a solution

First ran this migrate command - this is the only one that worked for in a docker container:
sudo docker-compose run web python manage.py migrate

Then ran this command:
docker exec -it <dockercontainerid> python manage.py createsuperuser

Although this issue is closed long time ago
But as for me using latest docker(unsure which version)
I simply run a create_admin.py using
CMD [ "python", "create_admin.py"]
in that create_admin.py

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

User = get_user_model()
User.objects.create_superuser('admin', '[e-mail]', 'admin')

Just for some reference and some random comment.
Hope this helps.
