Final check

Sign in first. Open the app at its final URL and log in with your own Discord account, before sharing the URL with anyone — the first login on an empty database is what creates the ADMIN.

If login fails with redirect_uri_mismatch, the Redirect URI registered on Discord does not match the real URL — review step 2 of Set up Discord.

Confirm admin access: open /admin/channels. The administration tabs (Users, Channels) should be there. If you get bounced back to the home page, that account was not the first one in the database — check whether someone else logged in before you, or reset the User table and log in again.

Test a voice call: join the Geral voice channel, turn the microphone on and confirm the audio comes through on a second device.

If the connection hangs on "connecting" or drops immediately, review LIVEKIT_URL, LIVEKIT_API_KEY and LIVEKIT_API_SECRET — see LiveKit Cloud or self-host. On self-host, the most common cause is the UDP 50000-60000 range blocked by an edge firewall (see the "Ports" section of that page).

If you configured attachment storage: send a message with an image attached in text chat. If the upload fails or the image does not show up, review the variables in Attachment storage — the most common mistake is the bucket not being readable publicly (Public Access on R2, --access-level public_read on Neon).

Without storage configured, the expected behaviour is that the attachment button does not appear.

Release access to the rest of the team: in /admin/channels, grant each account that signed in the channel access role. New accounts start with no access.
