Application Management (For Application Images Only)

FlexusL instances provide various featured application images. An application image contains the underlying OS (Ubuntu 24.04), application software, initialization data, and runtime environment required by the application. You can use application images to quickly deploy applications, eliminating the need for manual uploads and installation.

Dashboard: An application image provides a visual dashboard where you can easily configure applications, such as managing software, plug-ins, and databases, after login.

The differences between the login modes, initial usernames, and passwords of FlexusL instances and dashboard are listed in the following table.

Table 1 Differences between FlexusL instances and dashboard

Item

Login Mode

Initial Username and Password

FlexusL

Log in to the system through the console or other modes. For details, see Login Modes.

The default username of a Windows FlexusL instance is Administrator, and that of a Linux FlexusL instance is root.

FlexusL instances do not have initial passwords. You need to reset the passwords on the FlexusL console.

Dashboard

Before logging in to an application dashboard for the first time, initialize the application preinstalled in the image. Then you can log in to the application dashboard on the FlexusL console.

The initial usernames and passwords of application dashboards vary depending on application images. For details, see Best Practices for FlexusL.

  • The dashboards of some application images, such as the WordPress application image, do not have initial usernames and passwords. You can set them during application initialization.
  • To obtain the initial usernames and passwords of dashboards of some application images such as the BT Panel application image, you need to log in to servers and run specific commands.
  • Some application images (such as OpenClaw and Hermes Agent) do not involve dashboards.

Initializing an Application Image

During the initialization, you need to set the information about the application image. Initialization operations vary depending on application images. Table 2 lists the application images and their initialization operations.

  1. Log in to the FlexusL console and click a resource card or instance name to go to the instance details page.
  2. On the Overview page, in the Image area, click Access to access the application image dashboard.
