Create a super user fails with docker

[Hydrozyk]

On Ubuntu Server 24.04 step from installation manual fails with the following error:
docker run --interactive --tty --volume /home/user/nemo:/nemo nanofab/nemo django-admin createsuperuser

`Traceback (most recent call last):

~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^
KeyError: 'createsuperuser'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

you need a settings.py file in your home/user/nemo directory. there is an example here: https://github.com/usnistgov/NEMO/blob/28a476aa1197abd37d2ad92665b976f7df45dc9d/resources/settings.py

Thanks. One would think that it would written in install documentation but its not.

I have the following files in /home/user/nemo but it still produces an error:

try running

docker run --interactive --tty --volume /home/user/nemo:/nemo nanofab/nemo django-admin collectstatic

before the createsuperuser command

[rptmat57]

remove NEMO.apps.nemo_ce from your installed apps unless you are really trying to install nemo ce in which case you should use the other container registry.gitlab.com/nemo-community/nemo-ce

Thanks that seemed to do it, I got past the initial static command. Now running in this problem:

you need to run docker run --interactive --tty --volume /home/user/nemo:/nemo nanofab/nemo django-admin migrate
before creating the superuser

replace the nemo container by nemo-ce if that's what you are trying to install
