Web Interface
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
The server itself (_arangod_) speaks HTTP / REST, but you can use the
|
|
graphical web interface to keep it simple. There is also
|
|
[arangosh](../Programs/Arangosh/README.md), a synchronous shell
|
|
for interaction with the server. If you are a developer, you might
|
|
prefer the shell over the GUI. It does not provide features like
|
|
syntax highlighting however.
|
|
|
|
When you start using ArangoDB in your project, you will likely use an official
|
|
or community-made driver written in the same language as your project. Drivers
|
|
implement a programming interface that should feel natural for that programming
|
|
language, and do all the talking to the server. Therefore, you can most certainly
|
|
ignore the HTTP API unless you want to write a driver yourself or explicitly
|
|
want to use the raw interface.
|
|
|
|
To get familiar with the database system you can even put drivers aside and
|
|
use the web interface (code name *Aardvark*) for basic interaction.
|
|
The web interface will become available shortly after you started `arangod`.
|
|
You can access it in your browser at http://localhost:8529 - if not, please
|
|
see [Troubleshooting](../Troubleshooting/README.md).
|
|
|
|
By default, authentication is enabled. The default user is `root`.
|
|
Depending on the installation method used, the installation process either
|
|
prompted for the root password or the default root password is empty
|
|
(see [Securing the installation](Installation.md#securing-the-installation)).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next you will be asked which database to use. Every server instance comes with
|
|
a `_system` database. Select this database to continue.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You should then be presented the dashboard with server statistics like this:
