## Introduction
Cloud console is a tool to view machine logging and interact with the machine you have deployed. We show the basics of cloud-console and how to access it via a browser during deployment.
## Overview
Cloud console always runs on the machine's private network ip and port number equla to `20000 +last octect` of machine private IP. For example if the machine ip is `10.20.2.2/24`, this means that `cloud-console` is running on `10.20.2.1:20002`.
For the cloud-console to run we need to start the cloud-hypervisor with option "--serial pty" instead of tty, this allows us to interact with the vm from another process, `cloud-console` in our case.
## Connect to Cloud Console
You can easily connect to cloud console on the TFGrid.
- Deploy a VM on the TFGrid with the WireGuard network
- Set the WireGuard configuration file
- Start the WireGuard connection:
```
wg-quick up wireguard.conf
```
- Go to your browser with the network router IP `10.20.2.1:20002` to access cloud console.
> Note: You might need to create a user/password in the VM first before connecting to cloud-console if the image used does not have a default user.
