Quick Start

Choose a path based on what you need. Both use the CPAMP interface, but installation and available capabilities differ.

Your situation	Recommended path
CPA already runs and you only want a clearer management UI	CPAMP Lightweight Panel
You need request history, cost analytics, inspection, or automation	CPAMP Full Mode
You are not sure	Read Choosing A Panel

Path 1: Install Lightweight Panel

Use this when CPA already runs and you only want to replace the official Management Center. It needs no additional service, database, or port.

1. Set CPA panel-github-repository to seakee/CPA-Manager-Plus.
2. Restart or reload CPA.
3. Open:

http://<cpa-host>:8317/management.html

Log in with the CPA Management Key. See Install Lightweight Panel for the complete configuration and update instructions.

Path 2: Install Full Mode

Full Mode runs Manager Server for request history, cost analytics, server-side inspection, and automation. The installer is the recommended path for most users:

curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/seakee/CPA-Manager-Plus/main/bin/install-cpamp.sh
bash install-cpamp.sh

In the installer:

1. Install scope: choose “CPA + CPAMP” if CPA is not installed, or “CPAMP only” if CPA already runs.
2. Deployment method: prefer Docker, or choose a native package when Docker is not used.
3. Review the summary and confirm deployment.

After installation, open:

http://<host>:18317/management.html

Log in with the CPAMP Admin Key saved or printed by the installer. See Install Full Mode for details.

First CPA Connection

If the installer did not save a CPA connection, enter these values when Full Mode opens for the first time:

1. CPAMP Admin Key.
2. CPA URL, for example http://cli-proxy-api:8317.
3. CPA Management Key.
4. Keep request monitoring in the default automatic mode.

Confirm That It Works

Lightweight Panel

• You can log in with the CPA Management Key.
• CPA management features such as providers, Accounts, OAuth, logs, and plugins load normally.
• The page remains on CPA :8317/management.html.

Full Mode

• You can log in to :18317/management.html with the CPAMP Admin Key.
• Dashboard shows that CPA is connected.
• Monitoring shows an event after a real request passes through CPA.
• Usage Analytics shows the corresponding tokens and estimated cost.

If Full Mode opens but has no request data, see Monitoring Has No Data.

What To Do Next
