# Gitea

Once installed, access your Gitea website using the following URL:

`http://$INSTANCE_IP:3000/`

Replace `$INSTANCE_IP` with your server's IP address.

### Initial Setup

When accessing the URL for the first time, you will be prompted to complete the Gitea setup.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the initial setup and create your administrator account.

### Gitea Dashboard

After completing the initial setup, log in using the administrator credentials you created.

You will then be redirected to the Gitea dashboard, where you can manage repositories, users, organizations, and other Gitea settings.
