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.
