🗺️ Dashboard

The dashboard is the main interface for the Edgebox system. It provides a simple way to control it and access the various features and applications.

The system should execute continuously, and be accessible via the web interface either in the local network or via the internet.

🔗 Accessing the dashboard

To access the dashboard, open a web browser and navigate to http://edgebox.local when the server is in your local network. If you previously configured a custom domain, you can also use that domain to access the dashboard, even when not in the local network. Check the external access page for more information.

Info

If you are using the Cloud version of Edgebox, you can access the dashboard at https://<username>.edgebox.io (replace <username> with your username)

The first time you open the dasboard, you will be asked to introduce a username and password, that will be used to secure access.
