Hi.
I’m testing with version 25.04. I’m trying VMs. I installed a Debian from the distribution catalog. When I boot it asks me for login details. Username and password. There was no installation process to define the access account and I don’t know where they are established or if there is a default username and password. Has anyone tried this and can help me?
Thanks.
I think I found what to do.
Basically, in default images there isnt login enabled by default. You can only control VM through Incus. If you need to set login uesr you need to do it manually.
Alternative would be using cloud images which contain cloud-init. This would allow to set user and other thing during first launch of VM. But this is not currently supported by Truenas.
Looks like this is some more work for iX.
Thank you very much. I will try to use it through incus
I filed bug report. Jira
It sounds like the Debian VM was pre-configured with a default username and password. Try using “debian” as both the username and password, or “root” as the username with “toor” as the password. If that doesn’t work, check the VM provider’s documentation or try booting into recovery mode to reset the password. Let me know if you need further help!
From what I’ve read in different forums, these images do not have default credentials for security reasons.
But I have found the solution to be able to establish my own credentials.
To do this, you have to access the virtual machine shell. For this, it is not necessary to indicate the credentials. It is something similar to accessing kubernetes applications. Once inside, you can change the root password or that of any other user using terminal commands.
Loging
incus exec myinstance – su -l
To know the name of the instance
incus list
and that’s all.
