A practical guide to the current development release.

Getting started

Choose the situation that fits you. Joining a space is different from preparing one for yourself or a team.

Joining an existing space

1. Get the space address and your sign-in details from its administrator.
2. Sign in to your platform account at selfkernel.com, choose Add domain, enter the space address and select its domain type.
3. An existing domain sign-in is reused; otherwise sign in with your domain account on the page that opens.
4. After returning to SelfKernel, start with a document or question you are allowed to access.

Members do not install a backend or answer server-configuration questions. If access fails, ask the administrator to check membership. A company-website account does not automatically grant access to a business space.

Creating a personal space

The two personal options are My computer as host and Officially hosted personal space. Your computer needs to remain available when it hosts the space. Official hosting will use a server prepared by the official service. Public installers and self-service hosting are not open yet, so current trials need assistance from the person arranging deployment.

Personal and business material belongs to separate spaces. Check which space is active before asking a question or adding material.

Preparing a team space

Choose an administrator to arrange deployment and agree which members, documents and data sources can participate. Members sign in at the supplied address; they do not each install a server.

Try one real task with a small group before expanding access. You do not need to import every company document for the first trial.

Your website account

The new entry combines Google and email codes as “Sign in or create an account”, with no username or password required for new users. First successful proof creates an account; later proof signs in. Google and email-code services are configured and live; the page shows actual availability. Existing username accounts use the compatibility entry and can add Google or email after signing in, preserving workspace bindings. Platform identity and space membership remain separate; registration does not allocate a space.
