Commander Quickstart Guide

Xiid Commanders are the central hub for managing Xiid Terniion™.

This Getting Started guide will walk you through deploying your first Xiid Commander, setting up the basic components for Xiid Terniion's SealedTunnel™, and deploying your first STLinks.

Outcomes

By the end of this Getting Started Section, you will have:

  • Installed and activated your first Commander
  • Set up your first Profile with an assigned Mapping Route for RDP or SSH access to your Commander machine
  • Set an additional Mapping Route to the Commander Portal
  • Deployed your first two STLinks
  • Set up Binding Routes to each of the two Mappings on the Commander's STLink
  • Achieved access to each of the Commander machine's resources over the SealedTunnel
    • The Commander VM via RDP or SSH
    • The Commander Portal via a browser

Prerequisites

There are a small number of prerequisites for deploying the Xiid Commander.

We recommend using a Cloud Service Provider (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) for your Commander deployment, although the Commander can be easily deployed on-premise or practically anywhere.

Please also ensure that you comply with the STLink Prerequisites before starting your deployment.

For a comprehensive overview of prerequisites, see the Deployment Requirements PDF.

What You Must Provide

You will need to provide the following:

  • A Linux or Windows machine that the Commander and first STLink will be installed on
    • We recommend using a Cloud Service Provider
  • A client machine (macOS, Linux, or Windows) to install the second STLink on
  • Outbound access on port 443 for both machines
