I installed the Server addition to get used to servers. I added firefox and Xfce and
their dependencies along with httpd and tried to log into localhost:9090. I believe that
is the right port. I am prompted to enter fedora server edition password. I have read
there is no default password, but it wants a user name. What am I supposed to enter as a
user? To access Fedora Server Edition from Xfc and firefox?
As part of the installation you are required to provide at least one user, either using
root and create a password or - the recommended way - create a non-privileged system user
who is by default entitled to acquire root priviledges to perform administrative tasks.
Without selecting one or these choices the installation program will not proceed (see
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/installation/interacti...).
Use this user to login with Cockpit. By default root doesn’t work here for security
reasons. You would have to modify the default configuration. I would highly recommend
never doing that - and off the top of my head, I don't even know how to do that.
To access the web admin GUI you use
https://YOUR_SERVER_DNS_NAME:9090
<
https://your_server_dns_name:9090/> or
https://YOUR.SERVER.IP:9090 on your
_desktop_ to connect to your server.
By the way, I am planning an article "Getting Started with Fedora Server
Edition" or "Get to Know Fedora Server Edition" as an introduction for new
users who are getting started with a server for the first time. Do you have any idea what
you would like to see in such an article?
Best
Peter
