  👋

  
  
  

  I'm confused what you mean here, can you provide some clarification on your use case and what issue you're experiencing specifically?

  if you want to redirect it to some other port just do PORT=8080 pnpm dev, for local, but similar thing for prod

  
  
  

  Keep in mind that if you tweak something, you could loose images, etc because of wrongly set PORT.

  See here to change

  /admin

  to

  /

  :

  https://payloadcms.com/docs/admin/overview#customizing-root-level-routes
  
  

  Keep in mind you also have to move the (payload)/admin to the (payload) root folder

  
  
  

  As specified in that warning there

  in my home directory, where my frontend is accessible at /, and the Payload Admin panel is at /admin. However, I want to disable the frontend and automatically redirect to /admin when the server starts. How can I achieve this using middleware or configuration within Payload CMS?

  You can setup redirects via next.config.js to automatically redirect from / to /admin

  https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/redirects
  
  

  But this is not a Payload concept, this is something more to do with Next

  Thanks for the help! I'm new to both Next.js and payload.js and still learning how things work.Before this, I used Filament,and I'm trying to compare how payload and filament handle things.So far I see that Payload is more flexible with Next.js

  
  
  

  In Filament, there's a built-in feature for seeding data.But i couldn't find a similar feature in payload.Should I write a custom script,or is there a recommended approach?

  I would do that either in a custom endpoint like the website template does, or use the

  onInit

  function that runs once the server starts, with Payload there's many ways to seed data honestly

  
  
  

  Glad you figured the redirects out though

  How can I seed 20 dummy data in each collection automatically in payload.js using faker.js or any other method? can you provide an example?
