Getting started after deploying Kasm Workspaces

A notification will be sent to the e-mail specified during registration that the server is ready for work after paying for the order. It will contain the IP address of the VPS, as well as the login and password for the connection. Clients of our company manage the hardware in the server`s and API control panel — Invapi.

You can find the authorization data either in the Info >> Tags tab of the server control panel or in the email that was sent.

  • Link to access the Kasm Workspaces dashboard with a web interface: in the webpanel tag;
  • Login: admin@kasm.local, user@kasm.local;
  • Password:
    • Server Login (SSH): Password will be sent to your email when the server is ready for use after software deployment.
    • To log in to Kasm Workspaces Control Panel: set when you connect to the panel for the first time during initial configuration.

After successful installation, the Control Panel will be available at https://{ip_from_invapi}:3000. At this point you can select the software you want to install and set passwords for the admin@kasm.local and user@kasm.local accounts. Once the installation of the selected containers is complete, the administration panel will be available at https://{ip_from_invapi}. The previously defined credentials should be used for authorisation.

Note

If you encounter problems with authorisation, try the following solutions:

  • Restart the container using the docker restart kasm command;
  • Open the control panel in another browser.
