Quick Start

Follow these steps after completing installation.

Step 1: Access the Panel

Open your browser and navigate to:

http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:39921

Replace YOUR_SERVER_IP with your server’s actual IP address or hostname.

If the page does not load, verify that port 39921 is open in your firewall and cloud security group.

Step 2: Create Your Admin Account

On first visit, Web.Casa automatically redirects you to the setup page. Here you will:

1. Set your admin username
2. Set a strong password
3. Click Create Account

This creates the first administrator account with full privileges.

There is no default password. The first user to complete setup becomes the admin. Do this immediately after installation to prevent unauthorized access.

Step 3: Explore the Dashboard

After logging in, the dashboard displays real-time server metrics:

• CPU / Memory / Disk usage gauges
• Network throughput (inbound and outbound)
• Active site count and status
• Docker container overview (if Docker is installed)

The left sidebar provides access to all modules — Sites, Docker, Database, Files, Terminal, Monitoring, and more.

Step 4: Create Your First Reverse Proxy Host

1. Click Sites in the left sidebar
2. Click the Add Site button
3. Select Reverse Proxy as the site type
4. Fill in the configuration:

Field	Example Value	Description
Domain	app.example.com	Your domain name
Upstream Address	127.0.0.1:3000	Where your application listens

5. Click Save

Make sure your domain’s DNS A record points to this server’s IP address before saving. Caddy will automatically obtain an SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt — your site will be live with HTTPS within seconds.

Step 5: Enable HTTPS (Automatic)

Web.Casa uses Caddy’s built-in ACME client. HTTPS works automatically when:

• Your domain’s DNS resolves to the server’s public IP
• Ports 80 and 443 are open

For wildcard certificates, go to Settings > DNS Providers and configure your DNS provider credentials (Cloudflare, AliDNS, Tencent Cloud DNS, or Route53).

Step 6: Strengthen Security

We strongly recommend completing these security steps:

1. Enable TOTP 2FA — Go to Settings > Profile and set up two-factor authentication
2. Review firewall rules — Use the Firewall plugin to restrict access to trusted IPs
3. Set up audit logging — Audit logs are enabled by default; review them under Settings > Audit Log
