Hi there,

Hopefully, you’ve had a chance to connect your first resource. Now it’s time to start a session on the server you just added to Teleport (or any other resource you plan on using for your use case!).

Click Start Session to start an interactive session. You should see a terminal prompt in a new browser window. Your Teleport account routes your SSH connection through the Teleport Proxy Service, which connects to your container through a reverse tunnel. Reverse tunnels allow Teleport to manage access to resources like Kubernetes clusters and remote desktops, even if these resources are running on private networks. If you get an error connecting to your container, interrupt the teleport process in the container shell with Ctrl-C, then run teleport start to restart the process.

Execute commands of your choosing in your terminal. Here are some of our CLI references.

Enter the exit command to end the remote interactive session. Close the browser tab.

In the last step of Enroll New Resource, click Finish.

Click Browse existing resources to see your new server listed in the Teleport Web UI.

If you’d like to skip ahead to the remaining steps, please check the Get Started with Teleport guide. As always, many of our users and Teleporters are available in our Community Slack channel to answer any questions.
