Description

What problem will this feature address?

Use case:
Fully automated Dokploy deployment with AI agents - from the installation to the final configuration. So, in case when AWS CLI/GCP CLI installed, you can say AI Agent:

Create a VM, install Dokploy and publish my app.

Sounds like magic, right? But it's possible when AWS CLI/GCP CLI installed, GiHub CLI, Dokploy MCP, + ... this issue is completed :)

Describe the solution you'd like

So, we need:

  1. Ability to add an admin user during installation or right after it remotely without the need to open a browser.
  2. Issue an API key during Dokploy installation or right after it remotely without the need to open a browser.
  3. An ability to pass an API key to Dokploy explicitly. But perhaps, we can brainstorm more convenient and secure alternatives for this goal.

In the near future:
Creating Claude Code plugin with Dokploy installation skill, Dokploy MCP and Dokploy app publisher skill (proper instructions for Railpack) - it'll allow installing and control Dokploy by AI agents in a complete cycle. If the maintainers allow that, I'll be glad to help with creating such a plugin.

And thanks guys for a great product!

Describe alternatives you've considered

Opening browser, register an admin, google where to issue API, issue it

Research direction

Start with install.sh and inspect the existing browser-based admin registration and API-key issuance flows. Define a secure non-browser path for creating the admin, issuing or accepting an API key, and completing installation remotely without opening a browser.
