Setup the applications

Here are some guides to help you set up the applications. We assume you left the default ports; if you changed them, you will need to change the ports in the URLs. Same if you are using a domain name—change the URLs to match. We assume you are using the first example in your Nix configuration. Replace {URL} in this document with your server IP or domain. (You also can remove the port if not needed)
