# First run

Open `http://your-server:3000` once the container is healthy.

## Create the admin account

Set the username and password for the web UI. Behind HTTPS, harden session cookies with `SECURE_COOKIES=true`.

The admin account is not part of the [`NZBDAV_CONFIG__...`](https://www.infinidysk.com/v1/configuration/headless/) variables; those only pre-seed Settings. If you lose the password, see [Locked out of the web UI](https://www.infinidysk.com/v1/guides/troubleshooting/#locked-out-of-the-web-ui).

## Run the setup guide

On a new install, infinidysk opens the [setup guide](https://www.infinidysk.com/v1/getting-started/setup-guide/) <span class="since">since 1.3.0</span> after the first sign-in. It covers import strategy, cache, rclone or STRM paths, Arr apps, backups and the library directory. You can skip it and open it later from the main navigation.

## Or configure by hand

Skip steps for settings you already supply through headless variables.

1. **Settings → Usenet**: add a provider with its host, port (usually `563` with SSL), credentials and a **Provider Connection Limit** at or below your account allowance. Use **Test**. See [Usenet settings](https://www.infinidysk.com/v1/configuration/usenet/).
2. **Settings → WebDAV**: set the WebDAV user and password. rclone and most players need them. See [WebDAV settings](https://www.infinidysk.com/v1/configuration/webdav/).
3. **Settings → SABnzbd**: pick the import strategy and copy the **API Key** for your Arr apps.
   - **Symlinks** (Plex): set **Rclone Mount Directory**, for example `/mnt/remote/nzbdav`, and run the [rclone sidecar](https://www.infinidysk.com/v1/guides/mounting-webdav/).
   - **STRM** (Emby, Jellyfin): set **Completed Downloads Dir** and a **Base URL** the media server can reach.
4. **Settings → Streaming**: the defaults are a safe start. Tune them only if playback stalls. See [Streaming settings](https://www.infinidysk.com/v1/configuration/streaming/).

## Smoke test

1. Upload a small `.nzb` on the **Queue** page.
2. Wait until it reaches history and shows under Explore → `content`.
3. Open a video file to confirm it streams.

Overview **Active Reads** lists every WebDAV byte fetch. Sustained traffic with nobody watching usually means rclone cache churn or media-server analysis.
