VMs with LAMP, LEMP, and Node.js come pre-configured and ready to use.

For VMs with systems you need to deploy, e.g., Drupal, GitLab, Joomla, and WordPress, use a web installer for the initial setup.

Configuring software via a web installerConfiguring software via a web installer

To run a web installer:

  1. Get the VM public IP address. You can find the IP address in the management console, on the VM page under Network.

  2. Type http://<IP_address> into the address bar of your browser. This will open the authorization window.

    Note

    If the connection to the VM fails, wait a few minutes and try again.

  3. Complete the steps of the web installer by following the developer recommendations for Drupal, GitLab, Joomla, WordPress.

You may need to enter DB connection parameters when setting up the software. To get these parameters, connect to the VM over SSH and run the following command:

sudo cat /root/default_passwords.txt
