If you want Pulse to find servers automatically, enable discovery in **Settings → System → Network** and then return to **Settings → Proxmox** to review discovered servers.
|

|

### How do I access the LXC console to run commands?
|
||||
If you installed Pulse using the LXC installer, the container is created *without a root password*. The LXC container uses Proxmox host-level authentication via **pct enter** rather than traditional password login. This is the recommended approach for Proxmox-managed containers.
|
||||
|
||||
To access the console and run commands (like `update` or `journalctl -u pulse` or `pulse bootstrap-token`), use the Proxmox host shell:
|
||||
|
||||
**From Proxmox Host Shell** (SSH into your Proxmox host first):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pct enter <VMID> # e.g., pct enter 100
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This gives you direct root access without requiring a password.
|
||||
|
||||
**Find your container ID**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pct list | grep -i pulse
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: The Proxmox web console will show a `login:` prompt, but you cannot log in without first setting a password. To set a password for web console or SSH access:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pct enter <VMID>
|
||||
passwd # Set root password
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I change the port?
|
||||
- **Systemd**: `sudo systemctl edit pulse`, add `Environment="FRONTEND_PORT=8080"`, restart.
|
||||
- **Docker**: Use `-p 8080:7655` in your run command.
