Admin Panel
The AdventureLog admin panel is powered by Django and is available at /admin on your backend URL. In Standard Deployment installs, that is the same domain as the frontend (for example https://adventurelog.example.com/admin).
Access requirements
Only users with the staff flag (is_staff=True) can access the admin panel. The first-boot superuser created from DJANGO_ADMIN_* environment variables has staff access by default.
What you can manage
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Users | Create, edit, and deactivate user accounts |
| Locations | View and manage location records in the database |
| Social applications | Configure OAuth/OIDC providers (GitHub, OIDC, etc.) |
| Invitations | Send invite links for private instances |
| World data | Countries, regions, and cities reference data |
CSRF configuration
If the admin panel loads but form submissions fail, verify CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS in your .env or .env.advanced includes your public domain:
CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS=https://adventurelog.example.comWhen using a single domain, set SITE_URL instead and the origins are derived automatically. See Environment Variables.
Social auth setup
OAuth and OIDC providers are configured in the admin panel under Social applications and Social accounts. Step-by-step guides:
