I've installed NR 2.01 successfully in Docker on a QNAP NAS.
If I SSH into the container and issue the command :
node-red admin init
All I get is a :
node-red: not found
So, I assumed that although not mentioned anywhere I could find, node-red admin is something that needs to be installed, right? So I tried :
sudo npm install -g node-red-admin
That too failed because the container image I pulled from Docker HUB doesn't understand sudo. So, I tried without, and I got this:

I am amazed about the wast distance between the simplicity and ease-of-use described in the "Getting Started" section, and the real world whenever I actually try to do what it says - always! (Why is it that whenever I try anything in the Linux world, nothing ever works as described?)
