Post-installation actions
This article contains information about how to proceed after installing the GitProtect Management Service component.
Accessing the Management Service in on-prem deployment model
To access the on-premise GitProtect Management Service, connect to the device which Management Service console is installed on, using the following address:
ipAddress:port
ipAddress— the IP address of the device with Management Service installed on
port— port defined during installation process — by default, GitProtect uses 28555
If your Management Service opened successfully, you can proceed with the below steps (creating your root account, adding the license code, logging in, running your first setup).
GitProtect first configuration
When you launch the Management Service for the first time, you will be prompted to create an administrator account. To register a valid admin account you have to provide your login (it has to be a valid email address) and create a password compliant with the GitProtect password policy. Once you complete the form click Register to proceed to the next step.
Having the administrator account registered, you will then be asked to provide a license key (which you should've received via email upon registering for GitProtect) — this is the last step before the GitProtect system becomes operational and ready to use. Once done, click Proceed to go to the system setup.
In the initial setup you should add your first device which you want to use to set up the storage. Then, you have to install the backup worker and activate it in GitProtect system.
Next, add the storage where you want to store your data. As GitProtect is a multi-storage system, you can add different storages from different sources and use both local storage (i.e., SMB, NFS) and cloud solutions (i.e., Wasabi, Amazon, etc.).
With all system components initialized, you can start protecting your data and create backup plans.
