Updates:

Note: http urls are no longer supported for non local domains

"python manage.py createsuperuser" should be run separately when in Docker to create the admin

In /admin page, setup "Social applications"

users directly sign in using Oauth, only clubs/secretaries can create events so add them to clubs separately from /admin page
