This guide will cover how to perform common DoltLab administrator configuration and tasks for the latest versions of DoltLab, >= `v2.1.0`. These versions use the [installer](../reference/installer.md) binary included in DoltLab's `.zip` file. For instructions on running DoltLab in Enterprise mode and configuring exclusive Enterprise features, see the [Enterprise Guide](./enterprise.md). If you're using an older version of DoltLab that does not include the [installer](../reference/installer.md), please see the [pre-installer Admin guide](./pre-installer-administrator-guide.md).

DoltLab currently persists all data to local disk using Docker volumes. To backup or restore DoltLab's data, we recommend the following steps which follow Docker's official [volume backup and restore documentation](https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/#back-up-restore-or-migrate-data-volumes).

# Connect DoltLab to an SMTP server

DoltLab's most basic configuration does not require connection to an SMTP server. In this configuration, only the default user can use the DoltLab instance, as new account creation on DoltLab _requires_ an SMTP server to be connected to the instance. To enable account creation on DoltLab and enable its full suite of features, connect DoltLab to an SMTP server by editing `./installer_config.yaml` [to configure the SMTP server connection](#installer-config-reference-smtp).
