First Steps

Create the admin account

1. Open your instance in the browser — the URL the installer printed, or http://<your-server-ip>:3000.
2. You'll be prompted to register. The first user to register automatically becomes the admin.
3. Log in with your new credentials.

The dashboard

After logging in you land on the dashboard, which gives you an overview of your instance: storage usage, recent uploads, and API activity.

From the Files page you can:

• Upload files and folders via drag-and-drop.
• Create, rename, move, and delete files and folders.
• Search and filter your files.
• Download single files, or export whole folders as a zip archive.
• Copy a file's public hosting URL to share or embed it anywhere.

Create an API key

To use Vaze from other applications you need an API key:

1. Go to the API Keys page in the dashboard.
2. Create a new key and give it a recognizable name.
3. Copy the key — you'll pass it in the API-Key header on every request.
