SpacesOps

SpacesOps is a web platform for confirming Spaces ownership and selling subspace names. It connects to the Spaces spaced daemon, signs operator events on Nostr, and optionally adds pricing and subname-purchase features.

Before you start: install Spaces

SpacesOps requires the Spaces service. Install Spaces from the Marketplace and let it sync before using SpacesOps. SpacesOps connects to it automatically — you do not need to enter any spaced RPC credentials. Until Spaces is installed and its credentials are ready, SpacesOps will keep restarting; this is expected.

First run

On install, StartOS automatically:

  1. Generates a Nostr operator keypair that SpacesOps signs events with.
  2. Generates a strong session secret.

There is no setup wizard. Once Spaces is reachable, open the Web UI from the SpacesOps dashboard.

⚠️ Admin credentials — important

The admin area is protected by a well-known default login that this version of the package does not change:

  • Username: admin
  • Password: Whatever!

The Show Admin Credentials action displays these. Because the admin area can run SQL and manage tenants, keep this service private — restrict how you make it reachable in StartOS, and do not make its admin routes broadly accessible.

Actions

  • Show Operator Credentials — view your Nostr operator npub, nsec, and hex keys.
  • Import Operator Key — replace the operator keypair with one you provide (a 64-character hex secret key). This changes your operator identity and restarts the service.
  • Show Admin Credentials — view the fixed admin login (with the warning above).
  • Configure Platform — optionally set the Nostr relay, theme mode, CoinGecko pricing, and a SUBS backend. Pricing and subname-purchase features stay off until you configure them here. Saving restarts the service.

Backups

Backing up SpacesOps captures everything under /data — all databases, signed artifacts, your operator keypair, and your settings.
