Initial Setup

Regardless of your operating system or installation method, the initial setup screen is where you specify the administrator account, service port, and data storage path.

Initial setup

Configuring the administrator account

Enter the administrator account information for the person who will operate this space.

Field	Description	Can it be changed later?
Admin ID or Email	An ID (letters, digits, `_`, `-`, at least 4 characters) or email used to sign in	No
Admin Password	The administrator account password	Yes
Nickname	The name displayed in the service (default: `Administrator`)	Yes

Avoid easily guessable administrator IDs such as admin, administrator, or root. It's a good idea to combine your organization or service name with a word only you know, to create an ID that isn't used on other services.

Making the administrator ID hard to guess alone does not protect the account. Also set a password that is sufficiently long and not reused from other services. The administrator password must be at least 12 characters long; no mix of character types is required. Commonly used or previously breached passwords cannot be used.

Setting the service port

In Port Number, enter the TCP port that the SpaceBuilder service will use. Unless you have a specific reason not to, use the default value 8510.

Only change it to an available port in the 3000–65535 range if 8510 is already in use by another program. No particular port number is otherwise recommended.

To connect from other devices on the same network, the inbound connection for the selected port must be allowed in your server firewall. To connect from outside the office, see Choosing an External Access Method.

Setting the data storage path

The path entered in Home Path (Data) is where service data such as documents and attachments is stored. Choose a path that meets the following conditions.

A path the user running the service has read/write permission to
Enough free space to store data that grows over time as you operate the service
A path that can be backed up regularly

Clicking Setup saves the configuration and starts the SpaceBuilder service.

Default port: http://localhost:8510
If you changed the port: http://localhost:<configured port>
If connecting from another device: http://<server IP>:<configured port>

Installation complete screen

Click the login button in the top right, or Go to Workspace in the center of the screen, and log in with the administrator account you just created.
