You can create your own startup script in config/functions/bootstrap.js to then populate the data.

As an example I’m creating an admin on startup with this script

createDB: async (data, db) => {
    const exist = await strapi.query(db).find({ _limit: 1 });
    if (exist.length === 0) {
      await _populateDB(data, db);
    } else {
      console.log(`${_.capitalize(db)} already exists`);
    }
  },
_populateDB = async (data, db) => {
  console.log('Populated database:', _.capitalize(db));
  switch (db) {
    case 'countries':
      data.forEach((seed) => {
        strapi.query(db).create({
          name: seed.name,
          countryCode: seed.countryCode,
          enabled: seed.enabled,
          favourite: seed.favourite,
          currencyCode: seed.currencyCode
        });
      });
      break;

    default:
      data.forEach((seed) => {
        strapi.query(db).create({
          name: seed
        });
      });
      break;
  }
};

I’m then calling I in bootstrap.js with await createDB(countries, 'countries'); The languages`
the countries variable here I’m using is pulling data from a json file etc. So you can adjust it accordingly.
