Initial setup
On first launch, Lore shows a setup screen. It only appears once.
Documentation for version 0.1, in preparation. Commands, variables and API endpoints are proposals: they may change before the release.
The setup code
The screen first asks for a code, so that nobody else sets Lore up in your place. Lore writes it to its logs every time it starts, until the setup is done:
| Method | Where to read it |
|---|---|
| Docker Compose | docker compose logs lore |
| Packages | sudo journalctl -u lore |
| Archive | In the terminal where Lore runs |
For an automated installation, set it with the LORE_SETUP_CODE variable.
The three steps
- Organization Your organization’s name, Lore’s public address and the default language of the interface. The public address is used in invitation and password reset links.
- Administrator account Your name, your email and a password of at least 12 characters. This account becomes the owner of the organization.
- Done Lore suggests inviting your team, adjusting security, checking the public address and setting up your account. See First steps.
If the screen does not appear
The screen only appears when no organization exists yet. After restoring a backup, sign in with an existing account.
Wrong public address. Invitation links would point to the wrong address. Fix the LORE_PUBLIC_URL variable, then restart Lore. See Environment variables.
