First Run
Reaching the web UI
Once the service is running (see the install guide for your platform), open a browser to the machine's address on the configured port. On a fresh install you'll land on a setup screen rather than a login form.
Creating the first administrator
Data Orchester ships with one supported path to the first admin account: the installer seeds an account with no stored password. On first contact, an empty password input is treated as "no password set yet" and routes you straight to a forced change-password screen — set a real password there before doing anything else.
There is a separate, lower-level CreateAdminUser command-line tool intended for scripted or air-gapped
deployments where no browser touches the machine at all. Use one path or the other for a given install, never
both — running the CLI tool after an operator has already set a password through the UI will not silently
overwrite it.
Minimum initial configuration
To get something running end to end:
- Add your first peer — the connection to a device, sensor bus, or external system.
- Add your first module — the logic that reads from or writes to that peer.
- Confirm data is flowing on a dashboard before building anything more elaborate.
