Before adoption
Do not leave initial Admin registration unattended on public deployments

Supplemental curator note
Storyden is an MPL-2.0 community platform combining traditional forums, wiki-style knowledge bases, blogs, and link directories. Its version scheme is not semantic versioning; it uses a major/year/release-counter format. The Docker image can start with embedded SQLite and local asset storage, but the first registered account automatically becomes Admin, so public deployments should complete initial registration immediately.
