Step 3: Reset the Password and Log In to the FlexusL Instance

This section describes how to log in to a FlexusL instance. A FlexusL instance does not have an initial password. After creating a FlexusL instance, set a password for the FlexusL instance before logging in to it.

  1. In the Image area on the Overview page of the FlexusL console, click Access to go to the application dashboard and check whether the application has been up and running. If yes, go to the next step.
    NOTICE:

    Wait for several minutes until the image with the pre-installed application is up and running. Then, you can perform operations such as restarting or stopping the instance, or resetting the password. Otherwise, the initial password may become invalid and you cannot log in to the application dashboard.

    Figure 1 Entry to the application dashboard

    After the application is started, the initialization wizard page of the dashboard is displayed.

    NOTE:

    If the dashboard is not properly displayed, check the following causes:

    • The port for accessing the dashboard is not allowed. Check whether the port is allowed based on Step 2: Configure a Security Group.
    • The dashboard is being started. Try again later.
  2. Locate the resource card and choose > Reset Password to reset the password.

    A FlexusL instance does not have an initial password. Set a password for the FlexusL instance before logging in to it. For details, see Resetting the Password for a FlexusL Instance.

    Figure 2 Resetting a password
  3. Locate the target instance and click Remote Login and enter the username and password as prompted to log in to the FlexusL instance.

    The username is root, and the password is the one set in 2.

Step 4: Initialize the BT Panel

Application images use code-based Ubuntu. They provide graphical user interfaces to make your operations easier. You need to initialize the application dashboard upon the first login. Then you can directly log in to the dashboard from the FlexusL console afterwards.

  1. Obtain the administrator username and password for logging in to the BT panel.

    Log in to the server and run sudo cat /credentials/password.txt to obtain the username and password for logging in to the BT panel.

  2. On the Overview page, click Access in the Dashboard field in the Image area.

    NOTE:

    If the dashboard is not properly displayed, check the following causes:

    • The port for accessing the dashboard is not allowed. Check whether the port is allowed based on Step 2: Configure a Security Group.
    • The dashboard is being started. Try again later.
  3. Enter the username and password obtained in 1 and click Login.

    NOTE:

    If a message is displayed indicating that the username or password you entered is invalid when you attempt to log in to the application dashboard, refer to Why Can't I Access the Dashboard of the Application Pre-installed in the Application Image After Entering the Initial Username and Password?

  4. Install the basic software bundle.

    You can select recommended software packages and click One-click to install them when you log in to the dashboard for the first time.

    You can also close the popup and select other software from App Store and install them afterwards.

After the initialization of the BT panel application is complete, you can deploy applications on the dashboard.

Step 5: Deploy the BT Panel

If you want to use a domain name to access a website, add and resolve the domain name for the website.

  1. If the domain name is not registered with Huawei Cloud or not hosted on Huawei Cloud DNS, the domain name cannot be resolved. Use either of the following methods to resolve the issue:
  2. Configure the domain name on the application dashboard.

    If you had added a domain name to a cloud server, or removed a domain name from a cloud server and then add a new one, you need to configure the domain name on the application management page so that the domain name can be used to access the website.

    1. On the Overview page, click Access in the Dashboard field in the Image area.

      NOTE:

      If the dashboard is not properly displayed, check the following causes:

      • The port for accessing the dashboard is not allowed. Check whether the port is allowed based on Step 2: Configure a Security Group.
      • The dashboard is being started. Try again later.
    2. Choose Settings > Security, enter a domain name for Domain, for example, www.wpwebsite.com, and click Save.

      The BT panel uses port 8888 by default. If you want to use the domain name to access the website directly, you need to change the port number to the default HTTP or HTTPS port (80 or 443). If you do not change the port number, you need to access the website through http://Domain-name:8888 or https://Domain-name:8888.

BT panel uses HTTPS by default, and you do not need to install an SSL certificate.

In the software store, you can install, uninstall, and manage software.

You can search for the software by name or category. A PHP extension plugin is required to enhance PHP language functions. The following shows how to install a PHP extension:

  1. Choose App Store in the left navigation pane and search for PHP.
  2. Select the PHP version, click Install or Buy now in the Operation column of the target software and complete the installation.

In the Files menu, you can perform a range of operations on files, including copying, pasting, cutting, deleting, renaming, compressing, refreshing, or creating a file, and creating a directory for a file.

In the Logs menu, logs are classified by log type. You can click the tabs to view different types of logs and clear logs.

If you want to use a domain name to access a website, add and resolve the domain name for the website.
