Configuration

Important

When deploying on PikaPods, you should configure the admin user environment variables to automatically create your first admin account. This is the easiest way to get started with your Slink instance.

Admin User Setup

During deployment, configure the following environment variables to automatically create your admin user:

• ADMIN_EMAIL - Email address for the admin account (e.g., [email protected])
• ADMIN_PASSWORD - Password for the admin account (must meet password requirements)
• ADMIN_USERNAME - Username for the admin account (optional, defaults to admin)

Tip

For a complete list of available environment variables and configuration options, see the Environment Variables reference page.

After Deployment

1. Once deployment is complete, PikaPods will provide you with a URL to access your Slink instance.

2. Navigate to your instance URL and log in with the admin credentials you configured.

3. Start uploading and sharing images!

4. Customize your instance settings through the admin panel or by updating environment variables in the PikaPods dashboard.
