- Back up the destination drive. Flashing the image erases that drive.
- Flash the image to the rig’s blank SSD or USB drive with an image writer that supports .xz, such as balenaEtcher. Select the destination carefully.
- Boot the rig on your trusted network, then discover or add it in the CatStack controller.
Connect your controller remotely
Download Windows connector · Download Linux connector
- Keep CatStack running on your controller computer.
- Windows: open the downloaded connector. Linux: make it executable and run it; a headless system prints a sign-in link you can open on another device.
- Choose Sign in & connect, sign in or create an account, confirm the matching code, and choose Connect controller. The connector saves the connection automatically.
- Open your remote dashboard. Keep CatStack and the connector running. Windows setup can enable automatic startup at sign-in.
No config file or copied token is needed. See the full setup guide for Linux commands and troubleshooting, or open Connector setup.
