How to seed Accounts and Pods

If you need to seed accounts and pods, the --seededPodConfigJson command line option can be used with as value the path to a JSON file containing configurations for every required pod. The file needs to contain an array of JSON objects, with each object containing at least a podName, email, and password field.

For example:

[
  {
    "podName": "example",
    "email": "hello@example.com",
    "password": "abc123"
  }
]

You may optionally specify other parameters as described in the Identity Provider documentation.

For example, to set up a pod without registering the generated WebID with the Identity Provider:

[
  {
    "podName": "example",
    "email": "hello@example.com",
    "password": "abc123",
    "webId": "https://id.inrupt.com/example",
    "register": false
  }
]

This feature cannot be used to register pods with pre-existing WebIDs, which requires an interactive validation step.
