Work from the desktop app

You finish this when Cockpit shows your organization, you have seen what needs you, and you have opened your apps and Lumen from the same window.

1. Install and sign in

Install Cockpit and choose Sign in with Orkestia. Sign-in happens in your browser, so Google, Apple, and SSO work as they do on the web. A new account is walked through first-run onboarding: organization, plan, GitHub, and an AI provider.

2. Read what needs you

The Overview shows what is running and what is waiting. Decisions lists what an actor or workflow is blocked on. Answer one from the detail pane.

3. Find your way around

Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux) to jump to any section, workflow, app, or Lumen page. Navigation and shortcuts lists every shortcut and how to arrange the sidebar.

4. Look at your apps

Choose Apps in the switch at the top right of the window. Every app of the organization is listed with its health; open one for how it is built, what it uses and who signs in. Apps mode explains each tab.

5. Open Lumen

Choose Lumen in the same switch. The same organization's dashboards, logs, error groups, traces, metrics, and AI analytics open in place. Lumen mode explains what is there and how pages link to each other.

If Lumen shows nothing, the organization has not enabled it or has not sent data yet.
