How do I log in to OpenProject?

Apps 106 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 "OpenProject is ready". The first OpenProject install takes a long time. 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 prompt to change the password.
  5. In your profile, update your email address. The administrator's email is a placeholder after the install.

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

Good to know

  • The interface starts in Turkish. The database and cache run inside the same container.
  • OpenProject doesn't send email yet. For notifications, set up an SMTP server under Administration > Emails and notifications.
  • 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 OpenProject installed: you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
