Post-Installation

The step called "post-installation" is actually the initial configuration of YunoHost. It has to be done just after the installation of the system itself.

You can access it graphically by entering your server's local IP address in a web browser (e.g. http://192.168.1.7).

Or by running yunohost tools postinstall in command-line.

**Attention**: The post-installation may break your system if you interrupt it, be aware.

Two configuration parameters will be asked: the main domain name and the administration password.

Main domain

This is the first domain name linked to your YunoHost server, but also the one which will be used by your server's users to access the authentication portal. It will thus be visible by everyone, choose it wisely.

• If you do not have a domain name, or if you want to use the YunoHost's DynDNS service, choose a sub-domain of .nohost.me or .noho.st (i.e. homersimpson.nohost.me). The domain will be configured automatically and you won't need any further configuration step.

• If you do know what DNS is, you probably want to configure your own domain name here. In this case, please refer to the yunohost.org/dns page for more informations.

Administration password

This password will be used to access to your server's administration interface. You would also use it to connect via SSH or SFTP. In general terms, this is your system's key, choose it carefully.

And after ?

Once the post-installation finished, check if you can access to your server with your web-browser. If it is not the case, a few more configuration steps may be required.
