# Koel [Koel](https://github.com/koel/koel) is a self-hostable music server. # Initial setup After launching the application for the first time, you have to run the initial setup. This can be done using the following command: ``` docker exec -it koel_app_1 php artisan koel:init ``` This will ask you to configure the admin user etc. The location for the music can be left as the default (`/music`). The command will error out after asking this; this is normal. Even though an error occurred, the system still initialized successfully.
