So you've installed Ansible-NAS. Now what?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first thing to do is to configure [Heimdall](https://heimdall.site/) as the
|
||
|
|
dashboard of your new NAS, because most of the applications included come with a
|
||
|
|
web interface. Heimdall lets you create "apps" for them which appear as little
|
||
|
|
icons on the screen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To add applications to Heimdall, you'll need the IP address of your NAS. If you
|
||
|
|
don't know the address for some reason and have not installed
|
||
|
|
[Avahi](https://www.avahi.org/) for zero-configuration networking (mDNS), you
|
||
|
|
can `ssh` into your NAS and type `ip a` to find it. The entry "link/ether",
|
||
|
|
usually the second one after the loopback device, will show the address.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Next, you need the application's port, which you can look up in the [list of
|
||
|
|
ports](application_ports.md). You can test the combination of address and port
|
||
|
|
in your browser by typing them joined by a colon. For instance, for Glances on a
|
||
|
|
machine with the IPv4 address 192.168.1.2, the full address would be
|
||
|
|
`http://192.168.1.2:61208`. Once you are sure it works, use this address and
|
||
|
|
port combination when creating the Heimdall icon.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Glances](https://nicolargo.github.io/glances/) and
|
||
|
|
[Portainer](https://www.portainer.io/) are probably the two applications you
|
||
|
|
want to add to Heimdall first, so you can see what is happening on the NAS.
|
||
|
|
Note that Portainer will ask for your admin password. After that, it depends on
|
||
|
|
what you have installed - see the listing for individual applications for more
|
||
|
|
information.
