Quick Start

Get your first service accessible from the internet in under 10 minutes.

Prerequisites

• A SeaWise account — sign up at seawise.io

• Docker installed on your home server

• A running service you want to expose (Plex, Jellyfin, Home Assistant, etc.)

Step 1: Run the SeaWise Client

On your home server, run:

docker run -d \
  --name seawise \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 8082:8082 \
  -v seawise-data:/config \
  ghcr.io/seawise-io/seawise-client:latest

Step 2: Open the Client Web UI

Go to http://your-server-ip:8082 in your browser.

You'll see the SeaWise client interface with a Connect button.

Step 3: Pair Your Server

1. Click Start Pairing in the client web UI

2. A 10-character pairing code appears (e.g., ABCD-1234XY)

3. Click the link to go to your SeaWise dashboard, or visit seawise.io and enter the code

4. Review the connection details and click Approve

5. The client shows Connected within a few seconds

Step 4: Add a Service

In the client web UI:

1. Click Add Service

2. Enter a name (e.g., "Plex")

3. Enter the host (usually localhost or the Docker container's IP)

4. Enter the port (e.g., 32400 for Plex)

5. Click Add

Step 5: Access Your Service

Your service is now available at:

https://your-subdomain.seawise.dev

Find the exact URL in your SeaWise dashboard or in the client web UI.
