Cloud Console

Table of Contents

Introduction

Cloud console is a tool to view machine logging and interact with the machine you have deployed. We show the basics of cloud-console and how to access it via a browser during deployment.

Overview

Cloud console always runs on the machine's private network ip and port number equla to 20000 +last octect of machine private IP. For example if the machine ip is 10.20.2.2/24, this means that cloud-console is running on 10.20.2.1:20002.

For the cloud-console to run we need to start the cloud-hypervisor with option "--serial pty" instead of tty, this allows us to interact with the vm from another process, cloud-console in our case.

Connect to Cloud Console

You can easily connect to cloud console on the TFGrid.

  • Deploy a VM on the TFGrid with the WireGuard network
  • Set the WireGuard configuration file
  • Start the WireGuard connection: 
    wg-quick up wireguard.conf
  • Go to your browser with the network router IP 10.20.2.1:20002 to access cloud console.

Note: You might need to create a user/password in the VM first before connecting to cloud-console if the image used does not have a default user.
