Claim your instance

Open Quasar at the HTTPS address chosen during installation, for example https://192.168.1.50:8443. An unclaimed instance opens /setup.
Read the one-time claim token on your server:

docker exec quasar-control-plane cat /run/quasar/setup-token

Use podman instead of docker for Podman installations, as the account that runs the engine (root for a rootful Podman install).

Enter the token, email, username and password in the Claim step. This creates your administrator account.

The claim only works over HTTPS. Through a reverse proxy, the proxy must be in QUASAR_TRUSTED_PROXIES first: see Behind a reverse proxy. A token sent over plain HTTP is refused, but it crossed the network in clear and stays valid: restart the control plane to rotate it, then read the new one.

The Quasar setup wizard on the claim step — Create the administrator account with the token from your server.

Finish setup

The wizard saves your progress, so you can return later.

Step	Choose or check
Basics	Keep registration closed, require an invite, or allow open registration. You can change this under People ▸ Invites.
Hosts	Check that your GPU host is online and follow any failing readiness checks. Keep the storage path chosen at install unless you intend to reconfigure it.
Libraries	Enable Steam and choose who can use it. Quasar prepares the launcher on your hosts.
Finishing touches	Optionally add a SteamGridDB key for artwork, enable microphone support and start a library scan.

Use the address your players will use during setup. Continue saves that origin for streaming; it does not configure DNS or a proxy. An explicitly set QUASAR_ALLOWED_ORIGINS overrides setup’s choice; see Allowed origins.

Continue with Set up your game library, then Play your first session. You can invite other people from the admin area.

Check your install

If anything is missing, follow the installation checks before changing your setup.
