Users Management

Users information has been introduced in schema update 08. There's a new table that holds user-id, username, salted SHA256 digest, and user role. Until we add flask-admin (or some other management panel), the process of adding new users is manual.

This is pretty basic for now. One day we will add a capability for the user registration.

To add a new user:

1. log into the server using ssh
2. psql satnogs
3. add entry for new user

INSERT INTO users(id, username, digest, email, role)
VALUES(1,
       'admin',
       'pbkdf2:sha256:150000$kTuJClSh$2e93de2d7a169df346a577a24ccc85c2cf1ff62e5a64f944a301cda76ce39c68',
       '[email protected]',
       'admin');

You can generate the hash using the following python commands:

from werkzeug.security import generate_password_hash
generate_password_hash('secret1')
