How do I log in to Kimai?

Apps 116 views Markdown
  1. In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
  2. On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "Kimai is ready". The page refreshes itself.
  3. Click Open app.
  4. Enter the details from the Login and Password rows. The login is admin. 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 Kimai.

Good to know

  • The interface starts in English. You can change the language and time zone in your profile.
  • Kimai doesn't send email yet. For reminders and password resets you need to set up a mail server.
  • 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.

No server yet? Order a server with Kimai installed: you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
