Deployment instructions

Warning

Ensure that your security group allows traffic through UDP ports 500, 4500, and 51820.

Warning

Warning! After creating the virtual machine, the process of generating product settings will automatically begin. This typically takes around 5 minutes, depending on the virtual machine’s parameters. During this time, SSH access will be unavailable. This step is crucial to ensure a complete and secure setup.

  1. Obtain an SSH key pair to connect to the virtual machine (VM).
  2. Create a VM from a public image. In the Image/Boot Disk Selection section, go to the Cloud Marketplace tab and select niflheim. In the Access section:
    • Enter your username in the Login field.
    • Paste the contents of your public SSH key into the SSH Key field.

{% note warning %}
You can monitor the installation process through the “Serial Port”.

  1. Connect to the VM via SSH.

  2. Elevate your privileges to root:

    sudo su
    
  3. Retrieve the administrator password from the ca-password.txt file:

    cat /opt/niflheim/ca-password.txt
    
  4. Obtain the admin credentials for the web UI:

    cat /opt/niflheim/admin_access_ui.txt
    

The web UI is available on port 80.

Ensure you store the CA certificate password and UI admin password securely and avoid placing sensitive information in public repositories.
