How do I access Lighthouse VM for the first time?

After the Lighthouse VM has been deployed using your chosen hypervisor, you must set and confirm a root password using its VGA console before networking is enabled.

Once the root password is set, initial boot completes and Lighthouse is assigned one or more of these network addresses:

• A dynamic IPv4 address obtained via DHCP
• The static, self-assigned IPv4 of 192.168.0.1/24
• An IPv6 address obtained via SLAAC

You may now login to Lighthouse using the root account, at any of the above addresses, to access:

• Web UI: web browser using HTTPS (for example https://192.168.0.1)
• CLI: SSH client (for example ssh root@192.168.0.1)

Complete the initial setup steps as detailed in the User Manual then proceed with Node enrollment.

Note: If you wish to set an initial IP address from the CLI, refer to this article.
