FIRST-ADMIN — how each app gets its first admin account (the audit behind 09 §3 decision 45)
The rule (operator, 2026-09-28): an app is never published with a login a stranger knows. The box publishes every
app on the household's domain (*.domain through the tunnel). Where the box can set the first admin password, it
generates one at install and shows it on the app page. Where it cannot, the app stays in the catalog, and the install
dialog and the app page say what the default login is and to change it at once.
Mechanisms (controller ≥ 0.279.0; the gate ≥ 0.280.0):
after_install:in.felhom.yml— one command in the app's own container after a FRESH install, with generated deploy values filled in;success:marker required. Never after a restore or a kept-data load. (internal/stacks/after_install.go)- The page's default-login rule —
app_info.default_credsis shown, with the sentence „Ez az alkalmazás egy ismert, közös jelszóval indul: %s. Telepítés után azonnal változtasd meg." / "This app starts with a known, shared password: %s. Change it right after the install.", while that login is in effect; hidden onceafter_installreplaced it. (internal/web/known_login.go) - The setup gate (
09§3 decision 46, controller ≥ 0.280.0) —setup_gate: true(+ optionalsetup_done_probe:): a fresh install of an open-first-run app is closed to everyone but the household until the app's own status says an admin exists, or the household presses „Kész, beállítottam". Spike and verdict:felhom.eu/documentation/audits/login-gate-2026-09-29/B/B-VERDICT.md(14 of 34 class-4 apps have a probe — 2 measured, 12 upstream; 20 need the button). It does not close OPEN SIGN-UP after the setup (R-711). - „Megváltoztattam" / "I changed it" (controller ≥ 0.280.0, R-710) — the household's word under a known default login.
Classes: 1 generated by us at install · 2 set by the household in our dialog · 3 a hard-coded default · 4 an open first-run screen (the first visitor creates the admin) · 5 no login by design · 6 unknown. Sources: M = measured on a box (named) · R = read in this catalog · U = upstream, read or remembered, NOT measured. Every U must be measured before a fix is built on it.
Status 2026-09-29: 5 fixed by a generated first password (bookstack, calibre-web, claper, mealie, wger — every class-3 app); 4 class-4 apps gated (immich, n8n, audiobookshelf, uptime-kuma). 30 class-4 apps remain open — the next sessions gate them app by app (R-707): a probe measured on 9202 where the app has one, the button where it has none. Until an app is gated, its risk is the window until the household opens it first.
