nself admin

nself admin — ɳSelf documentation.

Open the ɳSelf Admin UI in your browser.

Synopsis

nself admin

Description

nself admin opens the local ɳSelf Admin dashboard at http://localhost:3021 in your default browser. The Admin UI is a local-only web interface that provides a GUI companion to the CLI, it runs as a Docker container on your machine and is never exposed to the internet.

With no subcommand, nself admin opens the dashboard in your default browser. nself admin start enables, builds, and boots the Admin service if it isn’t already running, so first-time setup no longer requires a separate service enable step.

Note: The Admin UI runs at localhost:3021 on your own machine (bind 127.0.0.1:3021 by default). It is distributed as a Docker image and launched via the ɳSelf stack, it is not a hosted service and is not accessible from outside your local network unless admin start --expose-network is used (requires a TLS-terminating reverse proxy with auth).
