Things to configure after the first start

When you run Upsource for the first time, it will open Configuration Wizard in your default browser. Select Set up:

First you can specify System settings

Base URL — the URL at which the Upsource service will be available to the users. You might want to change the default value if:

• your server has several DNS interfaces and you wish to make Upsource accessible by a particular DNS interface;

Click Next to proceed to User management settings

Here you have to choose to set up Upsource with either built-in Hub or external (standalone) Hub. If you are going to integrate with the YouTrack issue tracker or TeamCity, you should choose External Hub. Otherwise you may choose Build-in Hub.
