Get started

First login

Sign in for the first time, set your password, and confirm the appliance is ready.

  1. Find the management IP. It is shown on the appliance console after first boot.
  2. Open the web UI. Browse to http://<management-ip>/. Avoid 172.17.0.1, which is the internal Docker bridge.
  3. Sign in as admin / vexnx. You are asked to choose a new password straight away.
  4. Check Home. Host checks should show Docker running and, for QEMU labs, KVM available. The Launch Budget shows the capacity you have.
  5. Optional: SSH. ssh vexnx@<management-ip> with password vexnx, then change it when prompted.
bash
ssh vexnx@<management-ip>
ls -l /dev/kvm   # present when nested virtualization is enabled

Note

The appliance hostname is VEX-NX and its TLS name is vex-nx.local.

Next: Your first lab.
