Container deployments

This page applies to VM deployments only. Containerized Trapsters share the host's network stack and have no separate network identity.

By default, Trapster VMs are configured to use DHCP. If DHCP is not available on your network, follow these steps to set a static IP.

Configure a static IP ​

From your hypervisor console, connect to the VM using:

  • Username: trapster
  • Password: shown on your dashboard

trapster local menu

In the local menu, select Network configuration.

network configuration menu

Fill in the required network values (IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS):

network configuration form

Click Enable static IP, then Reboot.

The VM will reboot with the new static IP and reconnect to the dashboard.

Accept registration ​

If this is a new Trapster deployment, open the Trapsters page after reboot and click Accept on the pending device. See Trapsters: accept registration.

Verify connectivity ​

After rebooting, confirm the VM can reach the dashboard:

bash
curl -I https://trapster.cloud

You should get an HTTP 200 response. If not, check your firewall rules - outbound HTTPS (port 443) to <domain_id>.trapster.cloud must be allowed.
