Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I just started up Boardwalk for the first time. How do I access it/log in?
A: To access the web administration, you will want to go to http://localhost:3002/control/ (if localhost is where you are running the instance and assuming you are using the defaults). Then simply login using the login admin and password pass@word1. Remember to change this password as soon as you log in!


Q: How do I use [insert AWS API name here]?
A: Due to the different AWS options out there, it isn’t possible to cover all of them in the scope of this FAQ. If you are having issues with any of these APIs feel free to report them, but be sure to make certain that the issue is Boardwalk rather than your API.


Q: What AWS/S3 API should I use?
A: Any API you want! I personally use right_aws to test Boardwalk due to it’s easy configuration.


Q: Can I connect to a Boardwalk instance using Cyberduck ?
A: Since Cyberduck attempts to connect to any S3 instances using a secure connection (HTTPS), you’ll have to enable normal HTTP connecting by typing defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck protocol.s3.enable true into your terminal. (more info )


Q: I think I’ve found a bug. Now what?
A: Report it! Bugs are nasty and put a damper on things.


Q: I have a great idea. You should do [great idea]!
A: I love to hear feedback and ideas. Drop your idea in the Issues area and you may find your idea in the next release.
