maas-region-admin

Usage

maas-region-admin [-h, –help] createadmin | changepassword | shell

Description

The maas command is part of Canonical’s Metal As A Service software. It is derived from and can be used similarly to the django-admin command, and must be run with root privileges.

For the end user, there are only three subcommands of interest.

createadmin

This subcommand is used to create a superuser for the MAAS install. The suggested username is “root”. This command usually only needs to be run when installing MAAS for the first time.

changepassword

This subcommand is used to change the superuser password for the MAAS install. You will be prompted to enter a new password, and then enter it once again to verify.

shell

This subcommand may be useful for debugging installed systems. It will open a new python shell environment with the correct django environment for working with the installed MAAS software.
