NPMplus: no credentials

[dargelm]

Hi, I installed NPMplus by using the default script.

Result:

 * Starting sshd ...                                                            [ ok ]
  ✔️  Saved default login to /opt/.npm_pwd
  ✔️   Completed Successfully!

but if want to use it:

~# cat /opt/.npm_pwd
cat: /opt/.npm_pwd: No such file or directory

Whta's wrong?

I am also struggling with the credentials, maybe similar issue? Script web page says to use cat /opt/.npm_pwd but console asks me for a login before. Of course this file doesn't exist in the node shell of proxmox, but the containers shell immediately asks for "npm plus login:".

I'm using proxmox for a while now for different topics, far away from being an expert, but this is not the first time I couldnt proceed due to "missing" login information or maybe misunderstanding of it's use with some helper scripts. Don't know which one recently though...
Help anyone?

With password I find where? Haven't set anything. Does this log of the script output help? Thanks for the quick reply!

Oh boy... I tried other logins from the non-plus NPM script and other usual logins but didn't think of leaving it empty.
Thanks a lot! I do have the pwd file btw.

[MickLesk]

~# cat /opt/.npm_pwd
cat: /opt/.npm_pwd: No such file or directory

Whta's wrong?

in the lxc? looks not so. do an ls -la in /opt

I reinstalled and now I can get the initial credentials within the LXC-container for the web frontend.
Thank you for your patience.
