First Run And The Owner Account

Before You Start

• The server is running (see Quick Start or Install).
• The setup token from its start-up output: sudo docker logs <container> shows it. A new token is printed at every start until the owner account exists.
• An authenticator app on your phone, for example Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or 2FAS.

Set Up The Dashboard

1. Open http://<server>:8080 in a browser. Without an owner account the dashboard opens Set up the Face SDK.
2. Paste the setup token into Setup token.
3. Licence: if the server started with a licence key, it shows The licence is active. Otherwise enter the key and choose Activate online (Prod servers without internet: see Licensing).
4. Owner account: enter your e-mail and a password of at least 12 characters, then Create the owner account. The owner can manage everything, including other dashboard accounts.
5. Set up your authenticator app: scan the QR code with the app, or type the key into it, then enter the 6-digit code it shows and choose Confirm. Every sign-in asks for a fresh code.
6. First API key: the dashboard shows a key with every permission, once. Copy it into your system’s secret store; make narrower keys later under API keys.
7. The summary lists what is set up and what is left, such as enrolling people.

The setup token works only until the owner account exists. Anyone who can read the server’s logs can read it, so finish the setup straight after the first start.
