localhost:5774 — Dapodik
Dapodik (Data Pokok Pendidikan) is Indonesia's national education data system, managed by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbudristek). Schools across Indonesia — from elementary through high school — use this application to record student enrollment, teacher information, curriculum data, and facility details. All of this data syncs to the ministry's central database and directly affects school funding, teacher certification, and resource allocation.
Like Khajane 2, Dapodik is a desktop application that runs a local web server. When you launch the Dapodik application, it starts a server on port 5774, and you interact with it through your web browser.
How Dapodik Works
Dapodik runs locally on the school operator's computer. You enter data offline through the browser interface at localhost:5774, then sync with the central servers when you have internet connectivity. This design makes sense for Indonesia, where many schools — especially in rural areas — have unreliable internet connections. You can do all your data entry offline and sync when you're ready.
Each school has a designated Operator Sekolah (school operator) who is responsible for maintaining accurate data in Dapodik. This role is critical because Dapodik data determines BOS (Bantuan Operasional Sekolah) funding allocations.
Accessing Dapodik
- Install the Dapodik application (download from
dapo.kemdikbud.go.id) - Launch the Dapodik application — wait for it to fully initialize
- Open Chrome or Firefox and go to
http://localhost:5774 - Login with your operator email and password
- Select your school if prompted
What You Manage in Dapodik
Peserta Didik (Students) — Register new students, manage enrollment status, record transfers in and out. Each student gets a unique NISN (Nomor Induk Siswa Nasional). Accurate student counts directly impact BOS funding.
PTK (Teachers & Staff) — Maintain teacher profiles including qualifications, certification status, teaching assignments, and working hours. This data feeds into the teacher certification system (Sergur) and tunjangan (allowance) payments.
Rombongan Belajar (Learning Groups) — Define classes/sections, assign students and teachers to each group, set curriculum details.
Sarana Prasarana (Facilities) — Record school buildings, classrooms, laboratories, libraries, and their conditions. Used for infrastructure planning and DAK (Special Allocation Fund) requests.
Sinkronisasi (Synchronization) — Upload your local data to the central servers. This is the most critical step — data that isn't synced doesn't exist as far as the ministry is concerned.
Common Problems and Fixes
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| localhost:5774 won't load | Make sure the Dapodik application is running (check taskbar). If it's running but the page won't load, restart the application. Wait at least 30 seconds after launch before trying the browser. |
| Sync fails or times out | Check internet connection. Try syncing during off-peak hours (early morning or late evening). If sync repeatedly fails, check if there are data validation errors — Dapodik won't sync with invalid data. |
| Login credentials rejected | Use the credentials registered at dapo.kemdikbud.go.id. If you forgot your password, reset it through the Dapodik portal or contact your Dinas Pendidikan. |
| "Port 5774 is already in use" | A previous Dapodik instance didn't close properly. Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc), find and end the Dapodik process, then restart the application. |
| Data validation errors blocking sync | Check the error log in the application. Common issues: duplicate NISN entries, missing required fields, teacher hours exceeding maximum, student ages outside acceptable range. |
| Application very slow | Dapodik uses a local database that can grow large. Make sure you have at least 4 GB of free disk space. Close other applications to free up RAM. |
Sync Tips
- Always back up before syncing. Use the backup feature in the application. If a sync goes wrong, you can restore.
- Fix all validation errors first. Dapodik validates data integrity before allowing sync. Address every red warning.
- Don't close the browser during sync. The sync process can take several minutes for large schools. Let it complete.
- Sync before deadlines. During cut-off periods (batas waktu), the servers are heavily loaded. Sync early to avoid timeout issues.
- Check the Dapodik version. The ministry releases updates regularly. Running an outdated version can cause sync failures. Update from dapo.kemdikbud.go.id.
Checking if Dapodik Is Running
:: Windows Command Prompt
netstat -ano | findstr :5774
:: If you see LISTENING on 5774, Dapodik is active
:: If no output, start the Dapodik application
