How do I access the Pulse console?

[k5madsen]

I created an lxc container version of Pulse on one of my Proxmox nodes. It is running, web UI is functional and accessible. However, I don't have a login for the lxc console, so I could run updates. The UI login doesn't work in the colsole, and automatic updates apparently didn't run.

Any help would be appreciated.

hey @k5madsen, looks like you're mixing up the Pulse web UI credentials with Linux system access. they're completely separate things.

to update Pulse in your LXC container:

1. from your Proxmox host (not the Pulse web UI), access the container:

   pct enter <container-id>
   

   this gives you root access without needing any password

2. once inside as root, update Pulse:

   curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcourtman/Pulse/main/install.sh | bash
   

the Pulse UI login is just for web access, not for the Linux console. the container doesn't have a password set for direct console login by design - you're meant to use pct enter from the PVE host.

Thanks -- did that and I'm now updated.

I guess I haven't had to use pct enter yet, now I know.

Thanks also for this.
