Administration

Every instance-wide setting lives under Administration, in the sidebar, with a page for each part of Thingport. The first account on an instance is its admin, and there's no config file to edit after the first start.

Page	What it's for
Overview	System Health for everything Thingport relies on, disk space used, and the update check, which says when newer Thingport images are out.
Providers	Turn MakerWorld, Printables or Thingiverse off for everyone, and set the Thingiverse App Token. See turning a provider off.
Storage	The folder layout on disk, reorganizing existing files, browsing the storage folder, and the consume folder. See plain files on your disk.
Auth	The public URL, open or invite-only registration, single sign-on providers, and how long a sign-in lasts.
Rendering	How card thumbnails are made, and simplifying the previews of very detailed models. See 3D previews.
AI	AI models and the AI features: categorization and improved descriptions.
Users	Everyone's accounts, roles and sign-in methods. See multi-user.
Import queue	Imports waiting to run, such as links sent from Thingport Grab: start, pause, retry or clear them.
Logs	What each person did, by person and date: sign-ins, imports, edits, deletions, syncs, role changes, provider switches and AI runs.
Triggers	One-off maintenance jobs: link missing authors, refetch imported descriptions, or delete all of a user's models.
Connections	FlareSolverr, email (SMTP) and the database, each tested before it's saved.
Captcha	Where to ask for a captcha: sign-in, registration, import, and password and email changes.

After installing, and whenever something stops working, start with System Health: ideally everything there is green.
