OOB access

Connect to the VPN

Chameleon doesn't have a serial console, but rather an IPMI interface which is available via ColoClue's VPN.

The first time you connect to the VPN, you first need to install openvpn on your computer and then download the openvpn configuration from the provider:

wget http://sysadmin.coloclue.net/coloclue-oob.zip
unzip -e coloclue-oob.zip

Then start the VPN link:

# openvpn needs to run as root so that it can setup networking correctly
sudo make vpn

Note: you may need root for that.

Username is "groente" and the password is the ColoClue password stored in our password store:

pass tor/hosting/coloclue.net

Access the IPMI web interface

That command should show you the TLS certificate fingerprints to check when you access the IPMI interface via:

  • https://94.142.243.34

Note: connect to the IPMI web interface using the IP, otherwise the browser may not allow you to proceed because of the self-signed certificate.

The IPMI username and password are also in the password-store:

pass tor/oob/chameleon.tails.net/ipmi 

Launch the remote console

To access the console, choose "Remote Control" -> "iKVM/HTML5"
