Initial Scaffolding

This page describes the initial bootstrap when AppSettings.firstRun = true.

When to Use It

• New installation (metadata/data DB not yet ready).
• Local environment to realign with initial setup.
• First launch after deploy where you want to force the guided provisioning procedure.

Behavior with firstRun=true

• The GET /api/Meta/FirstRunStatus endpoint exposes firstRun: true.
• At login, the first run flow appears (e.g., Update action on the screen).
• The setup applies base configurations (connections, runtime settings, metadata bootstrap).

Typical Operations

• Verify AppSettings.firstRun is true in appsettings.{Environment}.json of the host you are running.
• Start the application and complete the initial scaffolding procedure from the UI.
• Check that connections and main parameters are consistent (dbms, DataDBName, ConnectionStrings).

After Provisioning

• The setup procedure sets firstRun to false to avoid re-executions on each start.
• Perform a standard login and validate access to the main routes.
