Quick Reference for common admin tasks

Some administrative actions currently require using the gotosocial CLI and aren't available in the settings ui. 

To use the gotosocial CLI, you need to somehow pass your config to it. These examples use `--config-path`.

Confirming a user's account

You may need to do this to activate a user if they weren't able to receive an email from the node. There doesn't seem to be an obvious way to re-send the email.

cd /gotosocial/
sudo -u gotosocial ./gotosocial --config-path ./config.yaml \
    admin account confirm \
    --username username_to_confirm
