First setup

Open http://localhost:8700/admin. The Settings icon on the dashboard goes to the same place.

Set a password first

In General, turn on Password Protection. The minimum length is 8 characters.

Caution

Until a password is set, the endpoint that sets one accepts the first caller with no authentication. On a shared network, the first person to reach a fresh install can claim the account.

The password is a gate between local users, not an authentication layer. See Security.

The four sections

Section	What it covers
General	Server identity and behaviour: title, host IP, logging, password, Docker health checks, and config import and export.
Appearance	How the dashboard looks: wallpaper, labels, theme, language. See Customization.
Dashboard	What is on the dashboard: apps, widgets, folders, and their order. See Adding services.
About	Version, update notice, and links to the project.

Each section saves on its own with Save.

Set Host IP if your services run on the same machine as Stackyard. Badge and widget URLs can then point at that address.
