Hi,

using the Dockerfile below, I get the error message, which is even further below. My guess for the reason is, that the app.ini file doesn’t yet exist. So, how would I get it created?

Docker file:

```auto
FROM gitea/gitea:1.16.5
EXPOSE 3000 22
RUN apk add mlocate emacs runuser
RUN GITEA __security__ INSTALL_LOCK=true runuser -u git -- /usr/local/bin/gitea -c /data/gitea/conf/app.ini admin user create --admin --username root -password manage --email noreply@softwareag.com

```

Output from “docker build”:

```auto
> [3/3] RUN GITEA __security__ INSTALL_LOCK=true runuser -u git -- /usr/local/bin/gitea -c /data/gitea/conf/app.ini admin user create --admin --username root -password manage --email noreply@softwareag.com:
