How to disable local login at setup?

[Siddharth Sarda]

Hello,

I have deployed Nodebb on AWS Apprunner which is a managed container application service. I am using a fork of the https://github.com/FusionAuth/nodebb-plugin-fusionauth-oidc/ to use my own login and do not want local logins at all.

Everytime I run ./nodebb setup, because of this line in install.js https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/install.js#L428, local login is enabled again.

Is there a way I can control this at setup so that the local login is not enabled everytime at setup?

I was able to do what I want using these changes but not sure if there is a better way. https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/pull/11091/files

@Siddharth-Sarda Considering that this is just a database value, could you not just log in after the fact and disable local logins? You wouldn't be running setup multiple times, no?

@julian I assumed that since this was a managed container environment where containers are ephemeral and can be moved around, I would need to run ./nodebb setup every time. Is my assumption wrong? Can I just run setup once to populate the database and then just run ./nodebb build the other times?
