Just a note here:

When using version 1.x bindings, remember to add `1` after the name of the binding in the addons.cfg file, `binding = ` section

Example: `mqtt1` (not `mqtt`)

Note: This applies only to Bindings, not to other Add-ons (like persistence, etc). You can verify the correct name of the bindings using Paper UI → Add-ons → Bindings.

If the user leaves it like this and starts the runtime, he will be presented this setup page instead of the dashboard in his browser: [image] This is imho again a great step forward to make it easier to get started. Having to find the file conf/…
