# How do I use my Appwrite server?

https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-do-i-use-my-appwrite-server

1. In the panel, open **My servers** and click your server.
2. On the **Overview** tab, wait for the **App** row to say "Appwrite is ready". The page refreshes itself.
3. Open the link in the **Panel address** row and enter the details from the **Email** and **Password** rows.

## Your first project

1. Create a project with **Create project**.
2. Add a platform and use this server's address as the **endpoint** in your app: `https://IP-with-dashes.sslip.io/v1`

## Good to know

- New console accounts cannot register: sign-up is closed except for the admin created during installation. Invite your team from the console.
- The installation files are in `/opt/seturack/appwrite/appwrite`. To send email, fill in the `_APP_SMTP_*` values in the `.env` file there and run `docker compose up -d`.
- Write your own domain into `_APP_DOMAIN` in the same file.

**No server yet?** [Order a server with Appwrite installed](https://www.seturack.com/en/appwrite-vps): you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
