Table Of Content


Introduction

The hypervisorUI allows you to manage and monitor your skywire-visor nodes. These skywire-visor nodes run the Skywire protocol. They also host the applications that you can use over the Skywire network. The hypervisorUI facilitates and aggregates the management of the nodes into one user interface.

If you have selected Generate Hypervisor Image toggle in Skyimager and flashed the hypervisor image onto one of the boards on the Skyminer, you will be able to access your nodes via the the UI that is exposed to the local network by that hypervisor node.

HypervisorUI access

You can access the hypervisorUI from within the local network in which you have setup the Skyminer. You will not be able to access the hypervisorUI from outside the local network without further steps. In order to access the hypervisorUI, open a browser and go to https://192.168.0.2:8000.

access

When you access the UI the first time, click on Configure initial launch. You can now enter a password to restrict access to the UI from within the local network. If you forget the password, you will have to manually access the hypervisor node to gain access again.

Proxy Setup

skywire-visor allows you to setup proxy connections via remote visors to the Internet over the Skywire network. In order to setup a proxy connection, start by clicking on one of the visors that appear in your hypervisorUI. This will open up an overview page for the specific visor you chose.

Now click onto the + button next to the transport field. Input the PublicKey of the remote

visor and select dmsg as the transport type. This should setup a transport to a remote visor.

Next switch to the Apps tab of the UI and click on the gear icon next to the skysocks-client application and input the PublicKey of the remote visor again. Afterwards, start the skysocks-client by clicking on the triangle next to skysocks-client .

The proxy connection should now be succesfully setup. You can use the proxy by configuring your browser to use the connection exposed on localhost:9443.
