Getting Started

First Run

On first launch, BookBoss detects that no admin account exists and prompts you to create one. You will need to provide:

• A username
• An email address
• A password

This account becomes the administrator of your BookBoss instance.

What to Do Next

1. Add books — drop EPUB files into the bookdrop directory and review incoming imports
2. Create shelves — organise your library with manual and smart shelves
3. Set up libraries — in a multi-user install, create libraries to give each user a curated view of the collection
4. Set up OPDS — generate an OPDS password to browse your library from reader apps
5. Connect a Kobo — register your Kobo e-reader to sync books and reading progress
6. Invite users — add additional user accounts from the Settings page

Additional Configuration

• Database Configuration — choose and configure your database backend
• Configuration Reference — all available settings
