## Common questions

### What must be configured in .env before first starting Manyfold?

Create a .env file and set values such as PUBLIC_HOSTNAME, HTTPS_ONLY, database, Redis, SMTP, MULTIUSER, and REGISTRATION before starting. Missing or wrong values can stop the app from working or control who can sign up.

### What port should be available after installation?

The instance should be accessible in a web browser at your server address with port 3214. Then proceed to create your administrator account.

### How do I tell Manyfold where my 3D model files are?

After setup, create a filesystem library that points to the folder containing your model files. You can use a path template such as {creator}/{modelName}, but an empty or wrong folder leaves nothing to show.

### Can Manyfold send models to a printer service?

You can add a print host with the printer service's web address, protocol, and API key. The app checks the file types each host accepts, so unsupported file types or a wrong address will fail.

### Can it automatically reorganise or check the files on disk?

Manyfold can automatically reorganise files on disk based on tags or other metadata with customizable renaming. It can also spot duplicate files, nested models, and inefficient formats.
