Application configuration

Once the chart is installed and running, you can configure the application at:

http[s]://<ip address>/admin

(The exact URL is going to vary based on how you installed and configured the chart).

The application configuration is split into several sections:

Authentication

This is used to control which users have access to SlackerNews. We currently support Slack Auth only.

Chrome Plugin

The SlackerNews Chrome plugin is the easiest way for site admins to turn the urls collected and displayed into a more rich experience by collecting page titles for each link (without having to integrate with each authenticated service directly.)
