If there is a database schema update

If you're getting an error that looks like this:

Invalid `prisma.user.findFirst()` invocation:


The column `main.User.mailingList` does not exist in the current database.

There's a new DB update and you'll need to trigger a Prisma schema update via prisma migrate deploy. This looks at prisma/migrations and will update your local database.

Add a new admin user

To do this, it's easiest to use Prisma studio, which gives you access to the sqlite database through a web UI.

1. npx prisma studio
2. Head over to http://localhost:5555/
3. Select the User table
4. Look for the roles[] column and the row for your user
5. Click the [0|Role] button, then select the admin role checkbox
6. Click the Green save button to save changes
7. Profit
