Provision your first instance

With the xcware platform now set up, we will proceed to provision our first container and complete the Get Started guide.

  1. Open a browser and go to https://YOUR_MACHINE_FQDN/c/session. Log in using the credentials for administrator@nexus.local.

  2. Select Instances-cn from the modules on the left side.

  3. Click on the "New Container" button, complete the required fields, and then click "create" to provision your instance.

  4. At this point, you should be able to see your container listed in the List View (Cards).

  5. Click the "Actions" menu to the right of your container's List Card and select "Open Terminal" to start an SSH Workspaces session as the root user in a new tab.

  6. To exit the terminal, type exit and press Enter. Then, click the Logout button when prompted and close the tab.

We utilize xcware specifically for our external CAD/CAE workforce needs. Our vGPU Workstations outperform our previously used VMware Horizon on the same hardware. More importantly, it is now easier to onboard and scalable for every project.
