Step 7 of 10
Everyday use
What you do once CloudZH runs. Each part links to the page with all details.
Secure your sign-in
My account → Sign-in: add a passkey or an authenticator app and save the recovery codes. Once the VPN works, allow admin access only from home and VPN under Security.
Install apps
Open the App Store, choose an app and click Install. A good order: SABnzbd, Prowlarr, Radarr and Sonarr, then Plex with its wizard. CloudZH connects them for you. See First steps and Apps & App Store.
Invite friends
Users & permissions → Invitations → Invite. Choose rights and apps, how long the link is valid (1 to 30 days) and how many accounts it may create, then send the link. It is shown only once. See Friends & permissions.
Backups
Backups → Back up now, or on the server:
zh backup
Keep a copy on another machine, and the backup key in your password manager. Your media is not part of the backup.
Updates
A new CloudZH version shows under Needs attention on the overview. Click Update, or on the server:
zh update
Settings → Updates shows whether updates are set up on your server. Got a new version as an installer archive instead? Unpack it and run zh upgrade, see Backups & updates. Each app page has its own Update for the app.
System Health
System Health checks the whole server. Red means a problem, yellow a notice. Safe cases are repaired automatically; most other findings have a button that fixes them. On the server:
zh doctor # check zh doctor --fix # check and run safe repairs
See System Health.
