What's already configured
The one-click deployment provisions the Infisical application container alongside its two dependencies — a PostgreSQL database for persistent storage and a Redis instance for caching and session handling — connected over a shared internal Docker network. The ENCRYPTION_KEY and AUTH_SECRET keys are required for the platform to encrypt data and sign authentication tokens, and Infisical will not start correctly without valid values for both. The web interface listens on port 8080 by default, though Leneex's reverse proxy layer may remap this.
First login
Navigate to your instance's assigned domain in a browser — this triggers Infisical's signup screen rather than a login form, since no accounts exist yet on a fresh deployment. The very first account created here is automatically designated the server administrator, with access to the Server Admin Console for managing every other user and instance-wide settings afterward. During this first signup, Infisical generates an Emergency Kit PDF — download and store it somewhere safe immediately, since it's the only recovery path if the admin account's credentials are ever lost.
First project setup
After logging in, create an Organization first, then add a Project inside it — Infisical automatically provisions development, staging, and production environment slugs for every new project, matching the environment-separation model the platform is built around. If SMTP isn't configured, email verification during signup may be skipped or require manual setup.
