3.1. Hub Initial Configuration

Authenticate via TLS Communications

To secure communication, run the join command to ensure TLS (Transport Layer Security) is enabled.

During this step, you will need to provide the username and password of a registered hub admin user to authenticate successfully.

If you don’t have a hub admin user set up yet by following the steps:

  • Open a terminal on the server where Ngenea Hub is installed. Run the following command to create a new admin user:

    ngeneahubctl adduser

  • You will be prompted to provide a username and password. These credentials will be used to log into the Ngenea Hub UI later.

  • Replace SITENAME with the actual name of your site and run the following command:

    ngeneahubctl addsite SITENAME

  • Once you’ve created the admin user and registered the site, you can now log into the Ngenea Hub User Interface (UI).

  • Open a web browser and navigate to : http://server.address:8000

  • Replace server.address with the actual IP address or domain of your server.

  • Enter the admin credentials you created earlier to log in.
