What type of issue is this?

Documentation

A clear and concise description of the issue.

The script documentation mention this below and it is correct based on The Lounge docs here.

The Lounge is running in private mode. Use sudo -u thelounge thelounge add name to create users.

However, when I tried this as a root user (you cannot login to thelounge user itself, see screenshot), and because we are running this in debian, sudo command is not available. Thus, I suggest changing the command in this line to be runuser -u thelounge -- thelounge add <name>.

Which browser are you using?

Firefox

If relevant, including screenshots or a code block can be helpful in clarifying the issue.

Please provide detailed steps to reproduce the issue.

  1. Create the LXC as usual using the script
  2. Login as usual as well (root)
  3. Try adding your first lounge user with the command mentioned.
