+1. Generate the application keys after solditime starts
+You need to generate the application keys for your solidtime installation. You can do this by running the following command:
+
+´´´
+docker compose run scheduler php artisan self-host:generate-keys
+´´´
+
+This command will output random values for the APP_KEY, PASSPORT_PRIVATE_KEY, and PASSPORT_PUBLIC_KEY environment variables. You can copy these values and add them to the laravel.env file.
+
+2. Create a user
+Depending on your configuration of the APP_ENABLE_REGISTRATION environment variable, you can either create a user via the registration form or you need to create a user via the CLI. Per default the registration is disabled.
+
+You can create a user via the CLI with the following command:
+´´´
+docker compose exec scheduler php artisan admin:user:create "Firstname Lastname" "firstname.lastname@some-email-provider.test" --verify-email
+´´´
+
+More information about the CLI commands can be found in the CLI commands documentation.
+
+If you want this first user to be a super admin, you can add the email address to the SUPER_ADMINS environment variable in the laravel.env file.
+´´´
+SUPER_ADMINS="firstname.lastname@some-email-provider.test"
+´´´
+The command output a random password for the user. Afterwards you need to restart the containers:
+´´´
+docker compose down && docker compose up -d
+´´´
+Then you should be able log in with the user you created. If the user is a super admin, you can access the super admin panel via /admin.
