Connect your Umbrel Home

  1. First, connect the provided ethernet cable to your Umbrel Home and a vacant port on your internet router.
  2. Then, connect the power supply to your Umbrel Home. The device will power on automatically — no need to press the power button. You'll see the LED light up.

Create your account

  1. On a computer or phone connected to the same network, open http://umbrel.local in your browser.
  2. Choose a name and password for your account.
  3. That's it — you're in.

Create your account

Your account is stored entirely on your Umbrel Home and never leaves your device. This means there's no way to recover your password if you lose it, so we recommend saving it in a password manager.
