From the old repo:

hay-kot/homebox#687
hay-kot/homebox#19

Kinda agree with Hayden here, he proposed to have a CLI interface to reset passwords and do other operations, which is enough for a home usage scenario.

Opening up for community feedback.

As a very new user, password resets and new user onboarding flows are definitely pain points. Seeing Hayden's comments on the old issues suggests that a full UI-based admin panel with user roles would be a major undertaking. But a CLI/script on the back end that I could run by getting a shell in the container seems like a fine idea.

Admin functions are always needed when providing access to others. Preference is a web GUI, but anything to start would be helpful.

It has been agreed that due to the substantial requirements of a potential refactor in order to make this possible, for now we will instead focus efforts on the integration of OIDC (#6) and configuration of SSPR. Ideally, from a security perspective the reset of a password should fall with the end user and not with the administrator, as rightly mentioned by @hay-kot on Discord.

With this in mind, I will close this for now but we've added to an internal backlog to potentially revisit down the line.
