After creating it, you connect the installed application to this entry once — with a pairing code you generate here and type into the setup wizard on the Outpost machine.
Generate a pairing code
On the Outpost, click "Pair device". meinGPT shows you a short pairing code.
Enter the code in the Desktop app
Launch the Outpost Desktop app, choose "Pair with meinGPT", and enter the code. That's it — the app sets up the connection and tunnel itself.
Pairing codes are short-lived
A pairing code is single-use and expires after about 15 minutes. If it
has expired or been used, just generate a new one. This way no long-lived
secret ends up in your clipboard or a chat log.
Once the Outpost is paired and started, its status in meinGPT changes from Not connected to Connected.
If meinGPT keeps saying "not connected", you check that on the Outpost machine, not here: the status bar at the bottom left has to read Running, and the Connection tab has a network check that tells you what is wrong. → Console & operations
An organization can run more than one Outpost — for example, one for production and a second as a staging or second-site instance. Data pools are assigned to a specific Outpost, not to the organization as a whole — so when you create a data pool, choose which Outpost it runs on.
By default, an organization may register only one Outpost; a further registration attempt is refused, though any existing Outposts keep running unaffected. If you need more than one, contact meinGPT — we raise the limit for you. Each additional Outpost gets its own ID and secret (or its own pairing code) when you create it, and shows up as its own entry in the Outpost list under Company Settings → Outposts. To add it, just repeat the steps above under "Create your Outpost" with a new, distinguishable name.
