Access Your Applications

Once your applications are installed and running, you’ll need to know how to interact with them. Most containerized apps provide a web interface, while others might be accessed via SSH or custom protocols.

Open Web Interface

  1. Find your device IP address.
  2. Open a web browser.
  3. Navigate to http://[device-ip]:[port].

For example, if you installed Home Assistant, the URL would be http://[device-ip]:8123.

Note: The default port for Home Assistant is 8123, but check the application manifest if you need to confirm the port.

  • Grafana: http://[device-ip]: 3000
  • Portainer: http://[device-ip]: 9000

Accessing from Different Networks

Local Network Access:

  • Use the device IP address directly.
  • Access from any device on the same network.

Remote Access:

  • For remote access, we recommend using Pantahub, which provides a secure way to manage your devices and access their interfaces from anywhere.

Troubleshooting Access

Can’t Access Application:

  • Verify application is running (check with lxc-ls).
  • Check firewall settings on your computer.
  • Confirm you’re using the correct IP and port.
  • Wait for application to fully start (can take 1-2 minutes).
