# 🖥️ Accessing the Debian Control Panel (Optional but Recommended)

For the smoothest setup experience—including copy-paste support and visual configuration—we recommend using the **Debian Control Panel**. Here’s how to access it from a web browser on your local network.

---

### 🪪 Step 1: Determine Your Server IP

Boot or reboot your server. On the console login screen, you’ll see the **server IP address** displayed.

📷 *[Insert screenshot of terminal with IP visible]*

> Example: `192.168.1.66`

---

### 🌐 Step 2: Open the Control Panel in Your Browser

From any PC on the **same LAN** as your server, open a browser and enter:

```
[http://:9090](http://:9090)
```

Example:

```
[http://192.168.1.66:9090](http://192.168.1.66:9090)
```

### ⚠️ Step 3: Bypass SSL Certificate Warning

When you first connect, your browser may display a warning about a self-signed SSL certificate. This is **normal** and **safe**, as ggRock uses a self-signed certificate by default.

#### In most browsers:

* Click **“Advanced”**
* Click **“Proceed to (unsafe)”**

#### In newer Chrome versions:

* Click anywhere on the page (not the address bar)
* Type: `thisisunsafe` to proceed

### 🔐 Step 4: Log in as Root

Use the credentials you created during installation:

* **Username:** `root`
* **Password:** (the one set in Step 7 of installation)

---

### ✅ Step 5: Confirm Successful Login

After logging in, you should see the **Debian Control Panel dashboard**.

### 🖱️ Step 6: Open the Terminal

Navigate to **Terminal** in the Control Panel’s menu.

You’ll land in a root-authenticated shell, ready for command input.

---

### 📋 Step 7: Enable Clipboard Access

To paste text into the terminal:

* Press **Shift + Insert**  
  *or*
* Right-click inside the terminal and choose **Paste**

Your browser will prompt you for clipboard permissions—click **Allow**.
