Quick start

  1. Deploy from the Azure Marketplace (Get It Now → Create), choosing your SSH key at the Administration step.
  2. Allow inbound SSH (22) for yourself plus the application port(s): 8200 (API/UI) — restrict to your own IP where possible.
  3. Open http://<your-VM-IP>:8200/ui/ in your browser and sign in.
  4. Print the generated admin credential (see the support page) and change it after first sign-in.

Get your admin password (one time)

SSH into the VM with the username + key you chose at deploy, then print the generated credential:

ssh <your-username>@<VM-IP>
sudo cat /var/lib/openbao/init.json  # unseal keys + root token — move to secure storage

Sign in with the root token from init.json (not a username/password).
