#Dealing with Oracle's BS

Alright, the directions from that page refer to actual paid services. So anyway, click "Log In" from the single sign on page. We'll see what IP is listed for your instance and hope that maybe it changed or something simple
copper apex
love the thread name
toxic steeple
There were more strongly worded titles I considered but I at least pretend to be professional about things 😆
copper apex
I can't even log in atm
toxic steeple
😬
copper apex
saying password is wrong
treied to change password
and it it took me to an error page

Need to go through the SSO portal.
You most probably do not have a federated account.
toxic steeple
There may be long gaps in my responses due to keeping a small five year old alive and uninjured
lunar pasture
Yes.
copper apex
Discord went down too to make things worse
it's back now
Okay im on my dashboard
and i can see the Instance details, it says 'Foundry' is Running
i guess i need to click "ephermeral public IP" or "reserved public IP"?
toxic steeple
Try Reserved Public IP and see if anything comes up
toxic steeple
Follow steps 1 thru 7, I'll grab screenshots to help
Click the three bars at the top left hand of the screen, go to Compute -> Instances and click on that
toxic steeple
How did you access your Instance Details page from your earlier screenshot?
toxic steeple
Ok, get back to that page, scroll down, and then on the bottom left click on Attached VNICs
Then click the VNIC name, most likely "foundry"
toxic steeple
Then scroll down, select "IPv4 Addresses" (1), and then click the three dots (2) and select Edit. Then get a screenshot of what comes up
copper apex
copper apex
It has a field
toxic steeple
I'm hoping it'll give a way to autogenerate but- damnit
toxic steeple
Try clicking "Update", that field down at the bottom should be optional
copper apex
ok
copper apex
yus!
toxic steeple
copper apex
lmao, thanks for the help!
toxic steeple
No problem, thanks for your patience as we worked all this out
copper apex
yea set but not set
lemme explain
I can get to the admin page
by entering the world
then pressing ESC and clicking Return to Setup
toxic steeple
If you've already logged in as the Administrator earlier, I believe you don't need to re-enter it upon logging into the game and clicking return to setup
Or if you don't have one set, you have to log in as the GM and then click return to setup
As a security precaution
copper apex
oh ok so i should put a password for the GM?
toxic steeple
And for your admin password too. But yes, put in a password for the Gamemaster user in the world, and then go back to setup and set up an admin password in the configuration panel
copper apex
aslo that password looks like too many characters for the one i use
toxic steeple
That screenshot was from my server
copper apex
oh but mine is the same length
im guesing the field always displays the same amount
again for security
toxic steeple
Yes
I'll be unavailable for a bit as I get the 5 year old ready for bed. If you need any further assistance with Foundry stuff, #troubleshooting can help you out
or #core-how-to
copper apex
also, what does it mean now to be on ephemeral IP, will it run out again at some point and i have to pick a new one again?
Okay, good luck with your Skill Challenge!
Thanks again
toxic steeple
If my understanding of Oracle's documentation is correct, ephemeral IPs don't persist beyond the instance being terminated, and can't be assigned to a different instance
livid forum
If we reboot the instance will the IP go away?
toxic steeple
🤷♀️ Rebooting the server with sudo reboot doesn't change anything, but terminating and starting the instance again might. I'd read Oracle's documentation on Ephemeral IPs
livid forum
Confirmed that rebooting from the oracle dashboard also deosn't
