Configuring your Workbench after installation — email, public URL, AI providers, connection limits, and operational setup
admin@example.com with password admin123. Change the password immediately. Register your own email address and promote it to Admin.After installation, go to Admin → Setup and review all settings. The most critical are: Email Sender Address (must be a valid address or emails won't deliver), Public URL (the hostname users reach the Workbench at, used for links in emails), and Password Policy (default is medium; adjust to your security needs).
AI features — the recipe assistant, AI agents, and text-to-speech — require an AI provider. The Workbench does not ship with any preconfigured providers or API keys. You must configure your own: add a provider (Anthropic, Ollama for local models, or any OpenAI-compatible API such as DeepSeek), supply your API key, and enable it. Admin → Setup → AI Providers. Providers can be enabled or disabled per instance. See the AI Providers page for detailed setup instructions.
You can log in initially with the default admin@example.com account, but you must register a real email address — verify it and promote it to Admin. Without a valid email, you cannot email recipe output, charts, or reports to yourself. After that, configure database connections, add AI providers, and start building recipes.
Same basic setup as single-user. Create user groups to share recipes, datasets, and database connections. You can pre-register users or let them self-register. Configure group permissions and sharing policies.
For public access, you need: a DNS hostname, a reverse proxy (NGINX recommended), an HTTPS certificate (Let's Encrypt via certbot), performance monitoring, automated restart, and attack detection/suppression. See the Security Guide for details.
