-5. Create your admin account by running `docker run -i --env-file=<your env file> milesmcc/shynet:latest python manage.py createsuperuser`.
+5. Create your admin account by running `docker run --env-file=<your env file> milesmcc/shynet:latest python manage.py registeradmin <your email>`. The command will print a temporary password that you'll be able to use to log in.
 
-6. Launch the Shynet server by running `docker run --env-file=<your env file> milesmcc/shynet:latest`.
+6. Configure Shynet's hostname (e.g. `shynet.example.com` or `localhost:8000`) by running `docker run --env-file=<your env file> milesmcc/shynet:latest python manage.py hostname "<your hostname>"`. This doesn't affect Shynet's bind port; instead, it determines what hostname to inject into the tracking script. (So you'll want to use the "user-facing" hostname here.)
 
-7. With the server still running, visit it in a web browser. Go to `http://<your server's location>/admin` and log in with the credentials you setup in step 5. Click on "Sites", then "example.com". Update the values to match your deployment (the domain will be the domain where you'll _eventually_ host Shynet from, and the display name will be used to whitelabel Shynet throughout the management interface). When you're ready, click "Save".
+7. Name your Shynet instance by running `docker run --env-file=<your env file> milesmcc/shynet:latest python manage.py whitelabel "<your instance name>"`. This could be something like "My Shynet Server" or "Acme Analytics"—whatever suits you.
 
-8. Visit your service's homepage, and verify everything looks right!
+8. Launch the Shynet server by running `docker run --env-file=<your env file> milesmcc/shynet:latest`. You may need to bind Docker's port 8000 (where Shynet runs) to your local port 8000; this can be done using the flag `-p 8000:8000`.
+
+9. Visit your service's homepage, and verify everything looks right! You should see a login prompt. Log in with the credentials from step 5. You'll probably be prompted to "confirm your email"—if you haven't set up an email server, the confirmation email will be printed to the console instead.
 
 **Next steps:** while out of the scope of this short guide, next steps include setting up Shynet behind a reverse proxy (be it your own [Nginx server](https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/web-server/reverse-proxy/) or [Cloudflare](https://cloudflare.com)), making it run in the background, and integrating it on your sites. Integration instructions are available on each service's management page.
