Quick Start

From ISO to Running Cluster in 15 Minutes

The Community Edition installer walks you through clustering, storage, and networking. Most teams have a working 3-node cluster in under 15 minutes.

Step 1: Burn the ISO to USB with dd or Etcher, then boot your first node.
Step 2: Walk through the install wizard — set hostname, network, storage layout, and join the cluster.
Step 3: Repeat for the remaining nodes. The control center auto-discovers and joins new nodes.
Step 4: Open the control center (default: https://<node-ip>:443), upload an ISO, create your first VM.
