[NassemKa]

Background information

• Dendrite version Dendrite 0.13.7+14a6c10
• Postgres
• Running in Docker
• Client used: element web for signing in

Description

• I have created a script for bulk user creation of 500 user the script reads 500 username and password from a csv file and created them using /usr/bin/create-account -config /etc/dendrite/dendrite.yaml -username $username -password
• The script is as follow:

#!/bin/bash

# Assuming your CSV file has two columns: username,password
# Adjust accordingly if your CSV format is different

CSV_FILE="usernames_passwords.csv"

# Check if CSV file exists
if [ ! -f "$CSV_FILE" ]; then
  echo "CSV file $CSV_FILE not found."
  exit 1
fi

# Loop through each line in the CSV file
while IFS=',' read -r username password; do
  # Print the username and password
  echo "Creating user: $username with password: $password"
  # Execute the create-account command with the username and password
  /usr/bin/create-account -config /etc/dendrite/dendrite.yaml -username "$username" -password "$password"
  # Add a 1-second delay
  sleep 1
done < "$CSV_FILE"

• Here is a sample of console i get after running the script:

Creating user: user_1001 with password: tsr0E4Mkha
INFO[0000] Created account: user_1001 (AccessToken: hmzXH1DODVbmHfTpqwT3zpg0LfrNRq53VvmX705cCBc)
Creating user: user_1002 with password: oCwwM12fHy
INFO[0000] Created account: user_1002 (AccessToken: xiGSiaOBe_FreHhOgDrRqoCC7HK7z5HAlQUL5uipCqs)
Creating user: user_1003 with password: ooCVDxYw9G
INFO[0000] Created account: user_1003 (AccessToken: qDQMH-lJYqU-KviUkJXh0wGaFrxs6fBWhlBDhQ2Bqu4)

INFO[0000] Created account: user_1005 (AccessToken: tZSzzX5wp4YX9z355CE2u7fv_8-9wr8b5_iyVP42O98)

• Those are the users created in this case (frome the csv file):

user_1001	tsr0E4Mkha
user_1002	oCwwM12fHy
user_1003	ooCVDxYw9G
user_1004	z8CsklxNte
user_1005	caxpQYNkF9
