Step 4: Configure Psono

After installing Psono, you need to configure it. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo systemctl edit psono

[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/psono serve --root-path /var/lib/psono --config-file /etc/psono/config.json

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Start Psono service

Now that we have configured Psono, we can start the service. Run the following command:

sudo systemctl start psono

Step 6: Access Psono

Psono is now installed and running. You can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:2112. Login with the default username "admin" and password "psono".
