# How do I log in to Flarum?

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

1. In the panel, open **My servers** and click your server.
2. On the **Overview** tab, wait for the **App** row to say "Flarum is ready". The page refreshes itself.
3. Click **Open app**.
4. Enter the details from the **Login** and **Password** rows. The login is `yonetici`, which is Turkish for "admin". There is no setup screen.
5. In the **Administration** screen, set the forum name (it starts as "Forumum"), its description and your email 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 Flarum.

## Good to know

- The forum doesn't send email yet. For sign-up confirmations and notifications, set up a mail driver under **Administration > Email**.
- Install extensions over SSH: run `cd /opt/seturack/flarum`, then `docker compose exec flarum extension require`.
- 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 Flarum installed](https://www.seturack.com/en/flarum-vps): you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
