First Run

This guide walks you through the initial setup of MultiFlexi after installation. If you have not yet installed MultiFlexi, see Installation Guide first.

Creating the Administrator Account

On the very first visit to the web interface, MultiFlexi shows an account creation wizard — there are no default credentials.

1. Open your browser and navigate to http://<your-server>/multiflexi

2. You will see the “Create Administrator” screen

3. Fill in:

   • Username — your login name

   • Password — a strong password

   • Email — your email address

4. Click “Create Administrator”

Warning

There is no default password. The first user to reach the setup page becomes the administrator. Secure your server immediately after installation.

Initial Dashboard

After logging in you will see the main dashboard:

The dashboard shows:

• System Status — service health (scheduler, executor, eventor)

• Recent Jobs — empty on first run

• Upcoming Schedule — empty until RunTemplates are created

Verifying Service Status

Check that the background daemons are running:

systemctl status multiflexi-scheduler multiflexi-executor

Both should show active (running). If not, see Systemd Services.

Recommended First Steps

Follow this sequence to get your first automated job running:

1. Add a Company — Adding a Company

   A company represents the tenant for whom jobs will run. You need at least one.

2. Install Applications — Installing Applications

   Applications are the tools MultiFlexi executes. Start with multiflexi-probe for a simple health-check application.

   sudo apt install multiflexi-probe
   

3. Set Up Credentials (if required) — Assigning Credentials

   If your applications connect to external systems (ERP, bank, email), install the appropriate credential prototype packages and configure connection details per company.

4. Create a RunTemplate — Creating RunTemplates

   A RunTemplate links an application to a company and sets the schedule.

5. Run Your First Job — Scheduling Jobs

   Click “▶️ Execute Now” on the RunTemplate to verify everything works before relying on the automatic schedule.

6. Set Up Monitoring (optional) — Zabbix Integration

   Integrate with Zabbix to receive alerts on job failures.
