Knowledge Dashboard

Security

The dashboard binds to 127.0.0.1 (localhost only) by default and provides read-only access — it cannot modify your Engrams data.

⚠️ Do not expose the dashboard port externally. The dashboard has no authentication. If you need remote access, use an SSH tunnel or a reverse proxy with authentication.
