First Steps
After the Docker container starts and connects to the GitDB repository, complete the bootstrap wizard. The wizard is available at /bootstrap while the installation has no administrator or organization.
Open the bootstrap wizard
Open the address where GitOps is running and go to /bootstrap:
http://localhost:3000/bootstrap The setup is sequential. GitOps will ask you to create the cluster administrator first, then the first organization. Once both steps are complete, the bootstrap wizard is no longer available.
Create the administrator
Complete the first form with:
- Username: the username used to sign in.
- Email: optional email address for the administrator.
- Password: at least 8 characters.
- Confirm password: the same password again.
Select Create administrator. This account receives full access to cluster settings and is required before an organization can be created.
Create the organization
After the administrator is created, the wizard advances to the organization form:
- Name: required display name for the organization.
- Slug: optional URL-friendly identifier. GitOps generates one when it is left empty.
- Description: optional description for the organization.
Select Finish setup. GitOps creates the default organization roles and redirects you to the sign-in page.
Sign in
Sign in with the administrator username and password you created. From there you can select the organization, create projects, and configure the rest of the platform.
If the wizard reports an error, check the container logs and confirm that GITDB_TOKEN has permission to read and push to the configured repository.
