Getting started

Install the FlexGet app via your Box dashboard, then press Configuration manager once the app is installed.

This brings you to a code editor where you can edit your config file.

• Save — saves the config on the website only
• Save & Sync — saves locally and pushes the config to your server, then restarts the FlexGet daemon

You can load and restore previous versions of your config using the links in the bottom right corner.

All configs require a schedule block. Crontab is not supported unless you set it up manually.

Note: Changes made directly on the server will be overwritten the next time you sync from the website.

For configuration examples and documentation, see the FlexGet wiki.
