Please follow the steps given below to get the Skyline Health Diagnostics appliance correctly setup
This should be linked in the installation documentation. (and preferably solved 🙂
I really like the tool. It is very useful especially for dark sites and home labs 😉
Nevertheless, the deployment issue should be really fixed in next version because it is very user unfriendly.
There is one more issue I have had with appliance deployment. My issue was in defining two name servers delimited by comma during OVA deployment. It was my mistake because in SHD OVA is clearly mentioned "[space-separated] domain name server IPv4 addresses for the appliance." However, correct me if I'm wrong but it is pretty common to use comma separated DNS servers during OVA deployments, therefore, you can experience similar issues of fast typing end-users.
Anyway, the fix is pretty simple.
Hope this helps others.
@DavidPasek @brtlvrs Thanks for the feedback. The deployment issue will be fixed with next release. I will explore the option to update the document.
For the DNS entry in the UI, we may be able to handle command separated as well as space. Let me check the options we have.
We will document some of the common appliance management related activities (like changing hostname, IP Address, Time configuration and DNS options). That will help in other cases where user is looking for some guidance.
-Thanks
