Initial Configuration
This information applies to SwaggerHub On-Premise.
Once you deploy the SwaggerHub On-Premise virtual machine and activate your license, you will be taken to the System Configurations page where you can configure SwaggerHub.
The initial configuration includes only the minimal required settings:
Your company name – The name of the company installing SwaggerHub. In SwaggerHub On-Premise 1.19.2 and later, the company name is used to generate the default organization name. Note that you will be able to rename the default organization later.
DNS name for this server – The domain name or IP address assigned to this SwaggerHub instance, for example,
swaggerhub.acme.comor10.0.28.208. Users will use this domain name or IP address to access SwaggerHub, and the links in email notifications, mocks and elsewhere in the SwaggerHub application will also use this domain or IP.Usually, an IT administrator needs to assign a static IP address to a SwaggerHub VM and, optionally, assign a user-friendly domain name to that IP address. The SwaggerHub installer will attempt to detect the IP address during the installation, so, please make sure the IP address is externally accessible.
Port for this server (in v. 1.20.0 and later) – Leave it blank unless you run SwaggerHub On-Premise on VirtualBox in the NAT mode. In the latter case, specify the host’s listening port that corresponds to the VM’s port 80.
Note
In SwaggerHub On-Premise v. 1.19.3 and earlier, the port is specified in the DNS name for this server field as
host:port.Administrator credentials:
