Remote access to the graphical interface

The Live ISO automatically starts a graphical interface (using the local browser). However, you might want to access remotely to the installer. If you know the IP address of the system, you just need to point your browser to https://$IP.

For the case you do not know the address, or just for convenience, the Live ISO is configured to use Multicast DNS (sometimes called mDNS, Avahi, Zeroconf, Bonjour) for hostname resolution. Therefore, connecting to https://agama.local should do the trick.

Beware of the .local hostname

Do not use the .local hostnames in untrusted networks (like public WiFi networks, shared networks), it is a security risk. An attacker can easily send malicious responses for the .local hostname resolutions and point you to a wrong Agama instance which could for example steal your root password!

The mDNS resolution also works for other services like ping or SSH. So you can use commands like:

ping agama.local
ssh root@agama.local

If you want to know more about the mDNS support, please check the remote access documentation.
