Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

If this environment variable is specified, Audiobookshelf automatically creates a superuser with the provided username and password at start, not asking user to provide this information via web-interface.

Why would this be helpful?

This is useful for development and automated deployment (skip this excessive step of root user creation)

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

`
if (devEnv.InitUserName) process.env.INIT_USER_NAME = devEnv.InitUserName

if (devEnv.InitUserPassword) process.env.INIT_USER_PASSWORD = devEnv.InitUserPassword
`

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.26.3

Current Implementation (Screenshot)
