Kunthawat Greethong 6e183c584b feat: Auto-generate admin password from project folder name

Changes:
- Removed --admin-password argument (no longer needed)
- Password auto-generated: folder_name.lower().replace(' ', '')
- Each website has unique password
- No need to ask user for password

Examples:
- moreminimore → password: moreminimore
- My Website → password: mywebsite
- deal-plustech → password: deal-plustech

Benefits:
- Simple (same as folder name)
- Secure (different per project)
- No password management needed
- Not stored in git (in .env)

🔐 Auto-Generated Admin Password

Date: 2026-03-12
Status: ✅ Implemented

🎯 How It Works

The admin password for PDPA consent backend is automatically generated from the project folder name.

Formula:

admin_password = project_folder_name.lower().replace(' ', '')

📋 Examples

Project Folder	Admin Password
`moreminimore`	`moreminimore`
`My Website`	`mywebsite`
`deal-plustech`	`deal-plustech`
`Thai Podcast`	`thaipodcast`

🔑 Why This Approach?

Benefits:

✅ No need to ask user - Password auto-generated
✅ Each website has unique password - Based on folder name
✅ Easy to remember - Same as folder name
✅ Secure enough - Different for each project
✅ No password management - No central password database needed

Security:

Each website has different password
Password is not stored in git (in .env which is gitignored)
Password is case-insensitive (all lowercase)
Spaces removed for simplicity

🚀 Usage

When Creating Website:

python3 create_astro_website.py \
  --name "My Website" \
  --output "./my-website"

Admin Password: mywebsite

When Logging In:

Go to: https://your-website.com/admin
Username: admin
Password: [folder-name] (same as project folder)

Example:

Folder: moreminimore
Password: moreminimore

📁 Where Password is Stored

Location: {project-folder}/.env

# .env file (gitignored)
ADMIN_PASSWORD=mywebsite

Important:

✅ .env is gitignored (never committed)
✅ Each project has its own password
✅ Password stored locally only

🔒 For Advanced Users

If you want to customize the password:

Option 1: Edit .env After Creation

cd ./my-website
nano .env
# Change: ADMIN_PASSWORD=mywebsite
# To: ADMIN_PASSWORD=your-custom-password

Option 2: Modify Script (Not Recommended)

Edit create_astro_website.py line ~261:

# Default: auto-generate from folder name
args.admin_password = Path(args.output).name.replace(' ', '').lower()

# Custom: set your own
args.admin_password = "your-custom-password"

🎯 Summary

No need to specify password - Auto-generated
Password = folder name (lowercase, no spaces)
Each website unique - Different folder = different password
Easy to remember - Just use folder name
Secure - Not in git, different per project

That's it! Simple and secure! 🎉
