This quick guide will take you from a freshly downloaded archive to a running and secured instance.
- Get the last relase here.
- Unpack the archive locally and then upload WebSite files to your hosting.
- Open your siteβs URL and log π«₯ in using the initial administrator account { admin account = webmaster οΌ myclub β€ foo ( admin1234 ) }.
- Go to your avatar > Account π€π§βπΌ:
- Immediately change your name and email address.
- Sign out and use forgotten password to create your password.
- Navigate to Administration zone > Webmaster:
- Create groups with their authorizations π§βπ€βπ§.
- Assign authorizations to user(s) ποΈ.
On a fresh installation the application creates one initial user account and one group named Webmaster.
- The initial administrator account cannot be deleted and is the only member of the
Webmastergroup by default. - The
Webmastergroup holds the highest level of access but not enable to do everything directly.
Recommended first step: create a new group (e.g., Full) that is granted all available authorizations, then add your regular admin user(s) to that group. This lets you use a daily admin account for routine tasks while keeping the original initial account reserved for emergency recovery and sensitive operations.

All the site content is stored in a SQLite database:
- Main data:
WebSite/data/MyClub.sqlite - Logs:
WebSite/data/LogMyClub.sqlite
A GFS backup is created every time an article is saved, stored under:
WebSite/backup/<years>/<months>/<weekdays>/
As the IT saying goes: βAny data stored on a single medium is doomed to disappear.β
It is essential to regularly copyMyClub.sqliteto another physical storage to ensure data safety.
