The install console allows system administrators to manage the Assembla installation on their server(s). This application is separate from the Assembla web application itself and requires a separate login and authentication to access.

Dashboard

The dashboard shows an overview of the installation. The button on the left panel will open a new tab to the Assembla web application login screen. The middle panel shows the current version of Assembla Private Cloud that is installed as well as whether the installation is up to date or not. Clicking View release history will open a new page detailing the release history of Assembla Private Cloud and allow the system to check again for a new version by clicking Check Now. Finally, the right panel shows the configuration status of Snapshots on the installation.

Settings

Application settings can be edited from this page, including General Settings, Network, Email Server Settings, Advanced, LDAP Server Settings, and SAML Settings.

Console Settings

Console settings can be edited from this page, including Security, TLS Key & Cert, Snapshot & Restore, Update Checks, License Sync, General Settings, and Open Source

This section allows the console password to be changed and allows for authentication methods to be changed. The authentication can be changed to Anonymous, Password, or LDAP and can be configured by clicking Change console security settings.

TLS Key & Cert

Your SSL Private Key and SSL Certificate can be changed or uploaded from this section. Alternately, you can use a Self-signed (generated) cert by selecting that option as well.

The maximum number of snapshots retained can be configured, as well as the timeout of the snapshot process. Finally, snapshots can be configured to complete automatically by checking the Enable Automatic Scheduled Snapshots box.
