Getting started

After Part-DB you should begin with customizing the settings, and setting up the basic structures.

Customize config files

Change password, Set up Two-Factor-Authentication & Customize User settings

If you have not already done, you should change your user password. You can do this in the user settings (available in the navigation bar drop down with the user symbol).

There you can also find the option, to set up Two Factor Authentication methods like Google Authenticator. Using this is highly recommended (especially if you have admin permissions) to increase the security of your account.

In the user settings panel you can change account infos like your username, your first and last name (which will be shown alongside your username to identify you better), department information and your email address. The email address is used to send password reset mails, if your system is configured to use this.

(Optional) Customize homepage banner

The banner which is shown on the homepage, can be customized/changed by changing the config/banner.md file with a text editor. You can use markdown and (safe) HTML here, to style and customize the banner. You can even use Latex style equations by wrapping the expressions into $ (like $E=mc^2$, which is rendered inline: $E=mc^2$) or $$ (like $$E=mc^2$$) which will be rendered as a block, like so: $$E=mc^2$$
