Thanks for testing and your feedback. You could try these vmdks, they worked in VMware:

EDIT:

You could try to setup the vbox vm with just one bridged virtual network device in promiscuous mode.

EDIT2:

Maybe the conversion to vdi works better from qcow image?

Next step that I have done, connect in Console with root, change password and if I do: “systemctl enable --now cockpit/socket”, Cockpit works but always no https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cluster-admin/

In another test, I do not know when exactly, I had the https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cluster-admin/ but impossible to connect with admin account.

There were similar issues with the Debian image in VMWare, please try a vmdk from here.

EDIT:

I tested converting the qcow image to vdi and it worked. I used a bridged virtual network adapter and could reach the cluster-admin page. If needed you can download the working vdi.

Hello the team,

It is not possible to generate a new official builds 1.0.2 with the cluster-admin page and admin account?
