That's about it. If you open http://localhost:3000, you will be able to create
an account on a Ente Photos web app running on your machine, and this web app
will be connecting to the server running on your local machine at
`localhost:8080`. The verification code will be shown in the server logs.
That's about it. If you open http://localhost:3000 from the machine where the server is running, you will be able to create
an account on a Ente Photos web app. This web app will be connecting to the server running on your local machine at `localhost:8080`.
For the mobile or desktop apps, you don't even need to build, and can install
normal Ente apps and configure them to use your
[custom self-hosted server](guides/custom-server/).
To complete your account registration you need to enter a 6-digit verification code. Open the server log with the following command from inside the `my-ente` folder:
```sh
sudo docker compose logs
```
Find the code at the end of a message that resembles the following:
```sh
museum | INFO[0102]email.go:130 sendViaTransmail Skipping sending email to email@example.com: *Verification code: 112089*
```
There are [prebuilt apps](https://ente.io/download) for iPad, iPhone, Android, Linux, Mac, and Windows.
These can easily be configured to use your [custom self-hosted server](guides/custom-server/).
