Here's how to run configure Kickstart to run when you are using docker: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/installation-guide/docker/#kickstart

I'm not sure how you are starting your containers, but I imagine you could create and make a kickstart file available in other deployment environments also.

Kickstart is intended to build the system up from scratch.

We check for API keys, users, and a few other things to ensure we can start with a clean slate.

If you already have an API key configured, you can also just script a set of API calls on your end as well. This is more/less what kickstart does.

From the Kickstart docs:

Kickstart will only run if no API keys, users or tenants exist, so you can safely leave this environment variable configured even after the system has been configured.

This would be a good fit if the other devs fusionauth instances are going to be starting from scratch.

Otherwise you might want to vote for https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-issues/issues/560 which talks about a different path forward (which is as of now unimplemented).
