Getting Started with Comet-Hosted ¶

Ready to configure your Comet-Hosted server? ¶

Step 1
Install the server

As the actual setup process of Comet-Hosted is automatic, this guide covers configuring your branding settings

To get started, from the 'My Servers page' in your account area on cometbackup.com, select 'Comet-Hosted Settings'

This section will allow you to configure a custom domain and email reporting.

Here you can configure the domain of your Comet-Hosted instance

Your Comet Server can send email reports to the customer when a backup job completes. Configure the email settings here

Step 2
Login to the server

Once you login to your server, you will be able to access the Setup Wizard to configure your branding settings for the server and client software.

In here, you're also able to change the default storage, to connect either your Backblaze or Wasabi cloud storage.

From here you can brand the appearance of your Comet-Hosted server web interface.

The top-left section of the Comet Server can be configured to display either a Comet brand logo, custom text, or a custom image.

In this section you can brand the appearance of the desktop client, add an EULA, configure a custom help page and more.

You have now completed the configuration options for your Comet-Hosted server.

See our video guide explaining what each setting does.
