Once the app is deployed, you need to obtain the credentials from the server.

49
+
To obtain the credentials:
50
+
51
+
1. Log in to your new Compute Instance using one of the methods below:
52
+
53
+
-**Lish Console**: Log in to Cloud Manager, click the **Linodes** link in the left menu, and select the Compute Instance you just deployed. Click **Launch LISH Console**. Log in as the `root` user. To learn more, see [Using the Lish Console](/docs/products/compute/compute-instances/guides/lish/).
54
+
-**SSH**: Log in to your Compute Instance over SSH using the `root` user. To learn how, see [Connecting to a Remote Server Over SSH](/docs/guides/connect-to-server-over-ssh/).
55
+
56
+
1. Run the following command to access the credentials file:
57
+
58
+
```command
59
+
cat /home/$USERNAME/.credentials
60
+
```
61
+
62
+
This returns passwords that were automatically generated when the instance was deployed. Save them. Once saved, you can safely delete the file.

1. Open a browser and navigate to the domain you created in the beginning of your deployment. You can also use your Compute Instance's rDNS, which will appear like `203-0-113-0.ip.linodeusercontent.com`. See the [Managing IP Addresses](/docs/products/compute/compute-instances/guides/manage-ip-addresses/) guide for information on viewing and setting the rDNS value.

After Ruby on Rails has finished installing, you will be able to access Ruby on Rails from the console via ssh with your Linode's IPv4 address:
47
-
48
-
1.[SSH into your Linode](/docs/products/compute/compute-instances/guides/set-up-and-secure/#connect-to-the-instance) and [create a limited user account](/docs/products/compute/compute-instances/guides/set-up-and-secure/#add-a-limited-user-account).
49

Open your web browser and navigate to `https://[domain]/`, where *[domain]* can be replaced with the custom domain you entered during deployment or your Compute Instance's rDNS domain (such as `192-0-2-1.ip.linodeusercontent.com`). See the [Managing IP Addresses](/docs/products/compute/compute-instances/guides/manage-ip-addresses/) guide for information on viewing rDNS.
