# Accounts & plans

> How users sign up and how plan limits work.

## The first account

Registration is open by default — open the web UI at your `PUBLIC_URL` and sign
up. The first account is a normal user; there's no separate admin bootstrap.

Each account adds its **own debrid key** (RealDebrid / AllDebrid / TorBox) in
settings — that's what makes cached content stream instantly.

## Plans

Every user is on a **plan** that sets their limits. New accounts land on the
built-in **Free** plan:

| Limit                           | Free  |
| ------------------------------- | ----- |
| Concurrent downloads            | 1     |
| Max torrent size                | 50 GB |
| WebDAV / Stremio / shared cache | yes   |

Plans are defined in code (`shared/plans/plans.go`). For a personal instance the
Free limits are often too tight, so you have two options:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Bump your account">
    Assign your user a higher plan directly in the database:

    ```sql theme={null}
    UPDATE users SET plan_id='pro', expires_at='2099-01-01' WHERE email='you@example.com';
    ```

    (Run inside the postgres container: `docker compose exec postgres psql -U torrin -d torrin`.)
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Edit the plans">
    Change the limits on the Free plan (or add your own) in
    `shared/plans/plans.go` and rebuild the images. Best if you want everyone on
    your instance to get the same limits.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Note>
  Billing (Gumroad / Bitcart / etc.) is only relevant if you're running Torrin as
  a paid service. A private self-host can ignore it entirely and manage plans by
  hand.
