First-run setup

After installing, open the panel address (https://<vps-ip>:2610). Since no account exists yet, the panel automatically redirects you to /setup.

Creating the account

Fill in the form:

• Username: lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens/underscores only, starting with a letter.
• Password: at least 12 characters. A passphrase works well, e.g. purple-horse-jumps-the-fence.
• Confirm password: must match the password above.

Click Create account and sign in. The panel saves the account to /var/lib/mpn-web/account.json (managed directly by the panel without the root helper) and takes you straight to the main page.

Only one account

Mini Panel supports one administrator account and has no per-user roles. Protect the account with two-factor authentication.

After creating the account

• The /setup page no longer appears; from now on you sign in through the regular login page.
• You should enable two-factor authentication (2FA) right away, especially if the panel is exposed on a public IP without firewall restrictions on who can reach it.
