Depending on your auth provider configuration you will either first see the admin user creation form or the external group creation form.

When a user is logged in through the provider the groups of him that match groups with any in Homarr will be added to the user.

Here you can also disable analytics. Please note that our analytics are completly anonymous and is fully compliant with GDPR and PECR.

### Setting up integrations
After configuring server settings, the onboarding guides you through setting up your integrations.
#### Docker service discovery
If Docker is available (socket mounted), Homarr automatically detects running containers and matches them to known integration types.
Matching integrations are pre-selected in the integration list, saving you from manually picking each one.
#### URL templating
You can define a base URL template to auto-fill integration URLs in bulk.
Two modes are supported:
- **Subdomain mode** - e.g. `{app}.example.com` where `{app}` is replaced with the integration name
- **Port mode** - e.g. `192.168.1.1:{port}` where `{port}` is replaced with the integration's default port
#### API key helper links
For integrations that require API keys (such as Sonarr, Radarr, SABnzbd, or Seerr), a helper link opens the relevant settings page in the target application so you can quickly copy your key.
#### Creating apps from Docker containers
You can optionally auto-create bookmark apps for all discovered Docker containers, making them immediately available on your board.
:::note
Some niche and registry integrations (GitHub, npm, Docker Hub, GitLab, Codeberg, LinuxServer.io, GHCR, Quay, Search.ch) are hidden from the onboarding selection grid but remain available on the manage integrations page.
Release providers and Search.ch are configured directly in their widgets instead of the integrations page.

### Importing a ZIP from version before 1.0.0
This is recommended when you used Homarr before and want to re-import your data.
It is important that you first migrate correctly using [the list of breaking changes for 1.0](/blog/2024/09/23/version-1.0).

2. Check the contents that you want to export. We recommend you to export all data.

4. Save the ZIP file, that is being downloaded, on your device. If you selected "integrations" or "users", you also get an encryption / decryption key.

6. Drag and drop your previously downloaded ZIP archive into the file upload: <br/><img src={manageImportOldHomarrDropzone} style={{ maxWidth: 500 }} />
7. Next, choose the data that you want to import and how to import it. Since screen sizes were removed in 1.0, we create a new board for every screen size by default. We recommend you to only keep the best layout and adjust it later in 1.0.0 - but you can also import all of them and pick later.<br/><img src={manageImportOldHomarrChooseData} style={{ maxWidth: 500 }} />
8. If you previously exported integrations or users, you will be asked to decrypt the data safely using your obtained encryption token. Paste into the modal and confirm your action.<br/><img src={manageImportDecryptionToken} style={{ maxWidth: 500 }} />
9. Next, you can [follow the same setup as when starting from scratch](#starting-from-scratch). After you completed the onboarding, all of your data will be migrated and available.

After completing the onboarding, Homarr provides interactive guided tours to help you discover key features.
### Management tour
When you first visit the management area (`/manage`), Homarr walks you through the main pages: boards, apps, integrations, and users (admin only).
Each page highlights the list view and the create action so you know where to find and add things.
### Board tour
When you first open a board, a tour highlights the board header elements: search, edit mode, settings, board switcher, and user menu.
### Tour controls
- Press **Enter** (or click **Next**) to advance through tour steps
- Tours auto-start on first visit and do not repeat once completed
- Tours are skipped on mobile screens (below `sm` breakpoint)
- You can **reset tours** from the user settings page under **Manage > Users > [Your user] > General**

You're done with the basic setup 🔥. Now it's time to organize and customize even more.
We highly recommend you to experiment with different options, styles and configurations.
