Web Dashboard

The LobstaKit web dashboard gives you a browser-based GUI for managing your Lobsta installation.

Starting the Dashboard

lobstakit start

By default, the web interface runs on http://0.0.0.0:8080.

For production deployment:

lobstakit start --production --port 8080

Runs with gunicorn (2 workers, 4 threads, 120s timeout).

First-Time Authentication

On your first visit, you'll be prompted to create a password:

1. Open http://your-host:8080 in a browser.
2. You'll be redirected to /auth/setup.
3. Create a password (minimum 4 characters).
4. You're logged in and redirected to the dashboard.

On subsequent visits, enter your password at /login.
