Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following requirements:

  • A running instance of Fedora CoreOS Latest
  • Root access to the server
  • Basic knowledge of Linux administration

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Octopussy requires several dependencies to be installed on your Fedora CoreOS instance. To install these dependencies, run the following command as root:

[octopussy]
your_server_ip_address_or_hostname ansible_user=root ansible_ssh_private_key_file=/path/to/ssh/key.pem

Save the file and exit.

Step 4: Start the Installation

Now that everything is set up, you can start the installation process using the following command:

ansible-playbook -i inventory deploy.yml

This command will run the deploy.yml playbook, which automatically installs and configures Octopussy on your server.

Step 5: Access Octopussy

Once the installation process is complete, you can access the Octopussy web interface by navigating to http://<your_server_ip_address_or_hostname>/octopussy. You can log in using the default credentials:
