After you create a RethinkDB One-Click VM:
1- You can view the RethinkDB Admin UI immediately by visiting the VM’s IP address on the administration port (8080 by default) in your browser.
2- You can log into the VM as root using either the password emailed to you or with an SSH key if you added one during creation.
3- You can modify the default instance configuration by editing /etc/rethinkdb/instances.d/instance.conf
.
4- You can check the logs of the server at /var/log/rethinkdb
or through the Admin UI.
5- You can install clients/drivers based on your needs.
Although you can start to use your VM, there are a few setup steps that we recommend you take, since the cluster is running with default settings.
