Admin Getting Started

First User

When no users exist in the database, the registration page is accessible. The first user to register automatically becomes the admin.

Post-Setup Checklist

1. Configure a node (add at least one node and install the daemon on the target machine)
2. Add a location (create a location like “US East” for node organization)
3. Add allocations (assign IP:port combinations to the node)
4. Create or import an image (add a server image definition for the game servers you want to host)
5. Configure settings (set panel title, enable features, configure rate limits)
6. Enable registration (optional, turn on public registration if you want users to self-register)
