Create Outpost
Create your Outpost in meinGPT and pair it with a pairing code
Before the Outpost can do any work, you create it in meinGPT. Then you pair the installed application with that entry — using a pairing code.
Access Company Settings
Creating a Outpost requires admin access:
- Go to app.meingpt.com and log in
- Click your company name in the top right corner
- Select "Company Settings" from the menu
Can't see Company Settings?
You need administrator permissions. Ask your company admin to grant you admin access — or to create the Outpost for you.
Create your Outpost
Navigate to Outposts
- In Company Settings, click the "Outposts" tab
- You'll see any existing Outposts (if any)
- Click "Add Outpost"
Configure the Outpost
Fill in the form:
- Name: a descriptive name (e.g. "Production", "Engineering Docs", "HR Knowledge Base")
- URL: leave this empty — it is assigned automatically
Attention
Important: Do not enter anything in the URL field. The system generates the connection URL automatically.
Create it
- Click "Create Connection"
- Wait for the Outpost to be created
- The new Outpost appears in the list with status 🔴 Not Connected — that's expected until an instance is paired
Pair your Outpost
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.
Verify the connection
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
