Create Admin User

To create the initial admin user, follow these steps:


Step 1: Access the Setup Page

Open your web browser and navigate to https://knot.internal:3000. Since knot uses a self-signed certificate by default, your browser may display a security warning. You’ll need to accept the certificate to proceed. Look for an option like “Advanced” or “Proceed to knot.internal (unsafe)” depending on your browser.

If the server is running correctly, you’ll see the setup form prompting you to create the initial user.
