This page covers the initial setup and configuration of the Stackato Server in a virtual machine under control of a hypervisor running on a virtualization host.
For detailed instructions on configuring and running Stackato on specific infrastructures, see also:
The Stackato server has one user account initally:
Username: stackato
Password: stackato
If the Stackato server is running on a publicly routable network, the password should be changed as soon as possible.
Note
The password of the stackato account is changed to match the first user created in the Management Console. If you've created this "primary admin" user, use that password instead.
Command access to the Stackato server is available in several ways:
Over the hypervisor's tty console.
The Stackato Client command, which in addition to specialized functions can provide remote shell access to the server:
$ stackato target [email protected]
$ stackato ssh api
The familiar ssh command:
$ ssh [email protected]
Note
For ssh access on Windows, we recommend MSYS.
On the server, the control command for Stackato is called kato. It is used for configuration and node management procedures such as start, stop, role specialization, and status checks. For a complete list of options, see Kato Command Reference.
Instructions for common operations on the Stackato VM can be found here:
