In the instances section of the Civo dashboard, you can easily create and manage your instances. For this example, we're creating three instances: Control-Plane, Node-1, and Node-2. Once created, you can click on an instance to view its details, including the IP address.
To access an instance, you can use the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. SSH allows you to control your instance remotely from your local machine. Here's how you can do it:
Open your terminal and type the following command: `ssh root@`. Replace `` with the IP address of your instance.
The system will ask if you want to continue connecting. Type `yes` and press enter.
Next, you'll be asked for a password. You can find this by clicking on the "SSH Information" button on the right-hand side of the instance details screen. Click on "View SSH Information", and you'll see your password. Note that the password is hidden by default for security reasons. To view it, click on the "Show" button.
Copy the password and paste it into your terminal when prompted.
And that's it! You're now logged into your instance via SSH. You can now execute commands and manage your instance directly from your local machine.
