I've installed Lemmy via ansible, but I figured out that there are problems with emails and after I've created a user, no verification email came, no login is possible and now I have a ghost account I want to delete.

Because I couldn't find an UI element to purge users in the admin panel, I want to do it over postgresql, but I have no idea how to connect to the Lemmy database over a docker container, only thing I've found is to backup/restore the whole database:

docker-compose exec postgres pg_dumpall -c -U lemmy | gzip > lemmy_dump_date +%Y-%m-%d""%H%M_%S.sql.gz

Thank you for your help.

      I found a solution here

      A warning to people who have the same problem:

      On the website there is a command, which will purge all unverified account. If your admin account wasn't verified, it will be purged, too.

      Thanks a lot for your help :)
