Config

Storage Config

Open http://localhost:5244 and you will see this page：

Figure 1：alist default mainpage

Ignore the error above，and click the login button at the bottom：

Figure 2：alist login

then input the username and password which can be find at the download step, the output for alist admin command：

Figure 3：alist username password

and then configure storage：

Figure 4：add Storage

here I’m trying to add a local storage：

Figure 5：add a local storage

And then you reopen http://localhost:5244, there will be some content。

Nginx configuration

If you also have Nginx locally, you can configure alist after Nginx, but it must be said that alist does not do a good job of proxying nginx and cannot use subpath, so it can only proxy /, so the configuration of nginx is:

1. [[email protected]]# cat /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
2. location / {
3. proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
4. proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
5. proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
6. proxy_set_header Range $http_range;
7. proxy_set_header If-Range $http_if_range;
8. proxy_redirect off;
9. proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5244;
10. client_max_body_size 20000m;
11. }

Problem Solution

failed get storage: can’t find storage with rawPath: /

You may open this error page after installation, but it’s actually irrelevant, the key is that you need to click “Login” below to log in：
