curl -X GET "<http://localhost:1337/>"
2. Accessing the Strapi Admin Panel
Open your browser and navigate to the Strapi admin panel and you should see the login page. During the first run of Strapi, you will be prompted to create an admin account. You need to provide your name, email, and password, which will be used to access the Strapi administration panel.
3. Creating a Content Type
To create a new content type, follow these steps:
- Log in to the Strapi admin panel.
- Navigate to the "Content-Type Builder" section.
- Click on "Create new collection type" or "Create new single type".
- Define the fields for your content type.
- Save and publish your content type.
4. Adding Content
To add content to your newly created content type:
- Go to the "Content Manager" section in the admin panel.
- Select the content type you created.
- Click on "Add new entry" and fill in the fields.

5. Configuring API Permissions
- Log in to the Strapi admin panel at http://use.your.ip:1337/admin
- Go to Settings > Roles under Users & Permissions Plugin.
- Select the Public role.
- In Permissions, expand the desired content type (e.g., articles).

6. Retrieving Content via API
You can retrieve content from Strapi using the automatically generated API. For example, to fetch entries of a content type named articles:
curl -X GET "<http://localhost:1337/articles>"
Or enter the URL in your browser:
http://use.your.ip:1337/articles
You should see a JSON response containing the content entries.
7. Security
You may want to configure your firewall, such as ufw (Uncomplicated Firewall), to allow access only from your server's IP address. This means that only your server can access the necessary resources, and all other IP addresses will be blocked.
Port 1337: This is the default port used by Strapi for API endpoints and administration panel access.
