In the example configuration above, we configure the service to be hosted at https://mash.example.com/focalboard.

You can remove the focalboard_path_prefix variable definition, to make it default to /, so that the service is served at https://mash.example.com/.

Usage

After installation, you can go to the Focalboard URL you've configured above.

You can use the signup page to register the first (administrator) user. The first signup is always allowed. Users after the first one need an invitation link to sign up.
