First Run Setup

First Run Setup

1. Open PalCenter

Browse to:

http://YOUR-SERVER-IP:3000

When no users exist, PalCenter automatically opens the setup wizard.

2. Create the first Administrator

Enter:

• Username
• Email address
• A strong password
• Password confirmation

The first account is always an Administrator. There is no default username or password, and setup cannot be repeated after the first account is created.

PalCenter automatically generates its internal session-signing secret and stores it in /app/data/system.json. You do not need to create or view this secret.

3. Sign in

Use the Administrator credentials you just created. PalCenter uses signed, HttpOnly session cookies. Use HTTPS and enable secure cookies for deployments outside a trusted local network.

4. Understand the dashboard

The dashboard is the command center for all configured servers. It shows:

• Online or offline state
• Palworld server name and version
• Player count and capacity
• Server FPS
• Response time
• Last update time

Use Add Server to connect your first Palworld server. PalCenter refreshes live server information automatically.
