From 9ec665cbcaf45a9822ee5fc7bcc832fd455dc774 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: catborise Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2026 10:43:36 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] docs: the serial console step starts compose like the other steps The step ran `docker compose -p webvirtcloud up -d`. The other Docker steps let compose name the project after the directory, so in a clone under another directory name this command started a second deployment with its own volumes.

A new VNC console takes the form's other fields; on a TCP or TLS compute it needs Listen on: All interfaces (only SSH computes reach a localhost console). - The guest must use its serial port: a login prompt needs `systemctl enable --now serial-getty@ttyS0`, boot messages need the kernel parameter `console=ttyS0,115200`. The console shows only what the guest writes after it opens; press Enter for a new prompt.
