# Admin panel
One of Strapi's main feature is its fully extendable and customizable admin panel. This section explains how the admin panel section is structured and how to customize it.

See the [Contributing Guide](https://github.com/strapi/strapi/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) for information on how to contribute to Strapi's admin interface.
## Customization
2019-07-05 03:05:36 +02:00
The administration panel can be customized according to your needs, so you can make it reflects your identity.
### Change access URL
By default, the administration panel is exposed via [http://localhost:1337/admin](http://localhost:1337/admin). However, for security reasons, you can easily update this path.
**Path —** `./config/environment/**/server.json`.
```json
{
"host": "localhost",
"port": 1337,
"cron": {
"enabled": false
},
"admin": {
"path": "/dashboard"
}
}
```
The panel will be available through [http://localhost:1337/dashboard](http://localhost:1337/dashboard) with the configurations above.
### Development mode
**_Currently not available_**
### Styles
2019-07-12 08:02:25 +02:00
The AdminUI package source can be easily found in `./node_modules/strapi-admin/src/`.
For example, to change the top-left displayed admin panel's color, `./node_modules/strapi-admin/admin/src/components/LeftMenuHeader/styles.scss` should be overriden by `./admin/src/components/LeftMenuHeader/styles.scss` with your own styles.
Thus, you are replacing the files that would normally be in `node_modules/strapi-admin/admin/src` and directing them to `admin/src/some/file/path`.
To apply your changes you need to rebuild your admin panel
```
npm run build
```
### Logo
2019-05-15 11:05:34 +02:00
To change the top-left displayed admin panel's logo, add your custom image at `./admin/src/assets/images/logo-strapi.png`.
::: note
make sure the size of your image is the same as the existing one (434px x 120px).

### Tutorial videos
To disable the information box containing the tutorial videos, create a file at `./admin/src/config.js`
Add the following configuration:
```js
export const SHOW_TUTORIALS = false;
```
To apply your changes you need to rebuild your admin panel
```
npm run build
```
---
## Build
To build the administration, run the following command from the root directory of your project.
2019-05-16 12:21:41 +02:00
```bash
2019-05-15 11:05:34 +02:00
npm run build
```
2019-05-16 12:21:41 +02:00
you can build your admin panel with a specific configuration (located in the `./config/environments/**/server.json`) config by specifying a NODE_ENV as follows:
```bash
NODE_ENV=production npm run build
```
2019-05-24 14:42:53 +02:00
This will replace the folder's content located at `./build`. Visit http://localhost:1337/admin/ to make sure your updates have been taken into account.

## Deployment
The administration is nothing more than a React front-end application calling an API. The front-end and the back-end are independent and can be deployed on different servers which brings us to different scenarios:
1. Deploy the entire project on the same server.
2. Deploy the administration panel on another server (AWS S3, Azure, etc) than the API.
Let's dive into the build configurations for each case.
#### Deploy the entire project on the same server.
2019-07-05 03:05:36 +02:00
You don't need to touch anything in your configuration file. This is the default behavior and the build configurations will be automatically set. The server will start on the defined port and the administration panel will be accessible through http://yourdomain.com:1337/dashboard.
You might want to change the path to access to the administration panel. Here the required configurations to change the path:
**Path —** `./config/environment/**/server.json`.
```js
{
"host": "localhost",
"port": 1337,
"cron": {
"enabled": false
},
"admin": {
"path": "/dashboard" // We change the path to access to the admin (highly recommended for security reasons).
}
}
```
2019-07-05 03:05:36 +02:00
**You have to rebuild the administration panel to make this work.** [Build instructions](#build).
#### Deploy the administration panel on another server (AWS S3, Azure, etc) than the API.
It's very common to deploy the front-end and the back-end on different servers. Here the required configurations to handle this case:
**Path —** `./config/environment/**/server.json`.
```js
{
"host": "localhost",
"port": 1337,
"cron": {
"enabled": false
},
"admin": {
2019-05-15 12:15:08 +02:00
"path": "/", // Note: The administration will be accessible from the root of the domain (ex: http//yourfrontend.com/)
"build": {
2019-05-07 10:42:39 +02:00
"backend": "http://yourbackend.com"
}
}
}
```
The administration URL will be http://yourfrontend.com and every request from the panel will hit the backend at http://yourbackend.com.
#### Deploy the administration panel and the plugins on another server than the API
In this case, we suppose that you decided to put your administration panel on a different server than the API.
**Path —** `./config/environment/**/server.json`.
```js
{
"host": "localhost",
"port": 1337,
"cron": {
"enabled": false
},
"admin": {
2019-05-15 12:15:08 +02:00
"path": "/dashboard",
"build": {
2019-05-07 10:42:39 +02:00
"backend": "http://yourbackend.com"
}
}
}
```
The administration URL will be http://yourfrontend.com/dashboard and every request from the panel will hit the backend at http://yourbackend.com.
The generated `index.html` will look like this:
2019-05-16 15:00:55 +02:00
**Path —** `./build/index.html`.
```html
<html lang="en">
<head></head>
<body>
<div id="app"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/dashboard/runtime~main.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/dashboard/main.chunk.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
```
