A project in Firepanel maps to a Firebase project. As soon as you sign in for the first time, Firepanel takes you straight into the onboarding wizard to connect one.
The Onboarding Wizard
The wizard walks you through five steps:
- Connect to Firebase — sign in with Google, or upload a Firebase service account key
- Connect Firebase Project — pick an existing Firebase project or create a new one
- Configure Project — confirm the required Google Cloud services are enabled
- Set Up Collections — scan your Firestore database and optionally generate content types automatically from your existing data
- Choose a Plan — pick Developer, Startup, or Agency, with a 7-day trial on paid plans (see Plans for current pricing)
For the full walkthrough of each step, see Creating a Project.
Note:
The plan step only appears the very first time you set up a Firepanel account. Adding another project later skips it and bills to your existing subscription.
What's Next?
Your project is now ready. From the Project Dashboard you can:
- Generate content types automatically from your existing database collections, if you skipped that during setup
- Define content types to structure your data
- Browse your Firestore collections and documents
- Manage users and their access
- Explore Cloud Storage files
Note:
If you have an existing database with already populated data, you can generate content types automatically. Firepanel will analyse your collections and do its best to match them with the appropriate fields and structure.
