Resolved Root password for qcow2 image?

[martin.g]

Server operating system version

CentOS7

Plesk version and microupdate number

18

Hi,
I deployed Plesk by qcow2 Template: Installing Plesk Using QCOW2 Images
But of course I cannot login by browser as network information has previously to be set
And I cannot login by console as I cannot find root password or any other user credentials.
What do I miss?
Regards
Martin

I fixed it for me with resetting it in rescue mode, but I guess the password has to be written somewhere.

Hi,

The QCOW2-image does not contain any pre-defined password but the image contain "cloud-init" package. It means the environment you use should ask password or ssh-key and configure an access to a new VM via cloud-init during an image deploy.

We will add that information to the documentation page, thank you for the feedback!

The Plesk Obsidian QCOW2 images folder is empty now. Where can I find them?

Where can I find them?

Thanks

the iso images folder is also empty.

the iso images folder is also empty.

It is expected, they were removed at the start of the year because we do not rebuild images for the long time and it based on outdated OS versions. In fact, they do not contain Plesk inside; only a kick-start script which start Plesk installation from the Internet when OS installation is finished.

QCOW2 is a more useful replacement for the ISO images because the qcow2-images really contain up2date OS and Plesk packages, it could be used even without internet.

But if you still want to use ISO, you may prepare an ISO with a kickstart script which will start unattended Plesk installation:

• sh <(curl https://autoinstall.plesk.com/one-click-installer || wget -O - https://autoinstall.plesk.com/one-click-installer)
• Kickstart Installations :: CentOS Docs Site

Yes. I importet in proxmox and then generate a cloud init drive, where you can set user and password and other settings
1. create VM
2. attach plesk disk image
3. generate cloud init image

# qm importdisk <vm-id> --format qcow2 plesk-ubuntu-22-latest.qcow2 local-zfs
# apt-get install cloud-init
# qm set <vm-id> --ide1 local-zfs:cloudinit

4. set in gui all parametes (or on command line)
5. boot image, wait all update are done, it take some time

login with user and password you set.

sudo su -

to get root access
you can reset webgui password with set

PSA_PASSWORD=new_password && plesk bin admin --set-admin-password -passwd "<your_new_password>"
