Your Ente installation is almost ready!

## Required: External Object Storage

Before using Ente, configure an S3-compatible object storage provider:

1. Open the Cloudron dashboard and select your Ente app.
2. Launch the web terminal.
3. Edit `/app/data/config/s3.env` and provide values for **all** required keys:
   ```bash
   nano /app/data/config/s3.env
   ```
4. Save the file and restart the app from the Cloudron dashboard.

Supported variables:
- `S3_ENDPOINT` (e.g. `https://<account>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com`)
- `S3_REGION`
- `S3_BUCKET`
- `S3_ACCESS_KEY`
- `S3_SECRET_KEY`
- `S3_PREFIX` (optional path prefix)

## Required: DNS Subdomains

Ente now serves supporting apps on dedicated hosts. Create DNS records (CNAME or A) and add matching alias domains in Cloudron for:

- `auth.<app-domain>`
- `accounts.<app-domain>`
- `cast.<app-domain>`
- `albums.<app-domain>`
- `family.<app-domain>`

For example, if you installed the app at `ente.cloudron.io`, create records for `auth.ente.cloudron.io`, `accounts.ente.cloudron.io`, etc., all pointing to `ente.cloudron.io`, then add each hostname as an alias in the Cloudron dashboard.

## Administration

- Use the bundled CLI from the Cloudron web terminal (CLI state lives in `/app/data/cli-data`):
  ```bash
  cloudron exec --app ente.cloudron.io -- sudo -u cloudron ente --help

  # Whitelist an administrator
  cloudron exec --app ente.cloudron.io -- sudo -u cloudron ente admin user whitelist --email admin@example.com

  # Increase a user’s storage allocation (in GB)
  cloudron exec --app ente.cloudron.io -- sudo -u cloudron ente admin user quota set --email user@example.com --storage-gb 500
  ```
  See the upstream admin guides for further context: [user administration](https://ente.io/help/self-hosting/administration/users) and [CLI reference](https://ente.io/help/self-hosting/administration/cli).

Logs are streamed to the Cloudron dashboard. For deeper inspection use:
```bash
cloudron logs --app <location> -f
```
