Creating the superuser of a Django-based application is usually done by running the command manage.py createsuperuser, hence it requires shell access. This makes sense as shell access implies the person should also have admin privileges. However, shell access can be clunky (think of how to run something in a container, kubectl get pods -n chris && kubectl exec -it -n chris <pod_name> python manage.py createsuperuser...). We would prefer a declarative approach.

Currently, https://cube.chrisproject.org is being powered by a VM called fnndsc.childrens.harvard.edu in the Boston Children Hospital network's DMZ. It's been working well for us through the years, however its 480GB disk frequently runs out of space. For more storage, we want to try migrating the data into NERC OpenStack Swift object storage.
