# Usage

> BloodHound Community Edition web interface access, container management, and credential reset.

## Accessing the Interface

```bash theme={"dark"}
http://localhost:8080/ui/login
```

***

## Container Management

Start BloodHound CE.

```bash theme={"dark"}
docker compose up -d
```

Stop BloodHound CE.

```bash theme={"dark"}
docker compose down
```

View running containers.

```bash theme={"dark"}
docker compose ps
```

View logs.

```bash theme={"dark"}
docker compose logs -f
```

View logs for a specific service.

```bash theme={"dark"}
docker compose logs -f bloodhound
```

***

## Initial Credentials

Get the randomly generated admin password from logs.

```bash theme={"dark"}
docker compose logs | grep "Initial Password Set To:"
```

***

## Reset Admin Password

`bloodhound-cli` is a standalone **host** binary (it drives Docker Compose from outside the containers), and the subcommand is `resetpwd`:

```bash theme={"dark"}
./bloodhound-cli resetpwd
```

***

## Importing Data

Upload zip file via API.

```bash theme={"dark"}
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v2/file-upload/start \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"
```

```bash theme={"dark"}
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v2/file-upload/<job-id> \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/zip" \
  --data-binary @BloodHound.zip
```

```bash theme={"dark"}
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v2/file-upload/<job-id>/end \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
```

***

## API Authentication

Get a Bearer token.

```bash theme={"dark"}
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v2/login \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"login_method":"secret","secret":"<password>","username":"admin"}'
```
