+- Fix admin account creation by writing `conf/admin.txt` and seeding `seafile.env` with `SEAFILE_ADMIN_EMAIL`/`SEAFILE_ADMIN_PASSWORD` so the upstream `check_init_admin.py` no longer falls back to an interactive prompt (#2685)

 ## 12.0.18-3 (2026-05-10)
 - Fix MariaDB connection on HAOS >=17.3 by forcing IPv4 host resolution (#2688)

+# Seafile's check_init_admin.py looks for SEAFILE_ADMIN_EMAIL and
+# SEAFILE_ADMIN_PASSWORD in the env, then falls back to conf/admin.txt, and
+# only prompts interactively if neither is available. The upstream init.sh
+# writes admin.txt, but it is skipped when conf/ccnet.conf or conf/revision
+# already exist (e.g. after a partial previous install) and the env vars do
+# not always reach the seahub subprocess via su. Write admin.txt directly and
+# inject the values into seafile.env so admin creation succeeds (#2685).
