In a default installation, Duplicati will serve up a UI using an internal webserver. This setup works well for workstations and laptops but can be challenging when the machine is not always connected to a display. To securely connect the instance to the Duplicati Console, go to the settings page and find the "Remote access control" section.
Click the button "Register for remote control" to start the registration process. After a short wait, the machine will obtain a registration link:
Click the registration link to open a browser and claim the machine in the Duplicati Console:
Click "Register machine" to add it to your account, then return to the Duplicati Settings page where the machine is now registered and ready to connect:
Click the "Enable remote control" button and see the machine is now connected to the Duplicati Console:
Now that the machine is connected to the Duplicati Console, return to the Duplicati Console and visit Settings -> Registered Machines:
You can now click "Connect" to access the machine directly from the portal!
