# How do I log in to BookStack?

https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-to-log-in-to-bookstack

1. In the panel, open **My servers** and click your server.
2. On the **Overview** tab, wait for the **App** row to say "BookStack is ready". The page refreshes itself.
3. Click **Open app**.
4. Log in with the details from the **Email** and **Password** rows. There is no setup screen.
5. In your profile, update your email address. The install uses a placeholder address.

Further down the page, the **Username** row and the **Password** row below it are for SSH. Don't use them to log in to BookStack.

## Good to know

- The interface starts in Turkish.
- BookStack doesn't send email yet. For invitations and password resets, add mail settings such as `MAIL_HOST` to `/opt/seturack/bookstack/compose.yaml`.
- The site opens over HTTPS on a free `sslip.io` address based on your IP. If a certificate can't be issued, it opens over `http://` instead. Only ports 80, 443 and 22 (for SSH) are open to the outside.

To use your own domain, see [this article](https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-to-connect-your-own-domain).

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