That that your server is installed, you can connect to it using credentials you set on installation.

The first thing to do now is the traditionnal :

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get full-upgrade -y

#And if necessary
sudo timedatectl set-timezone <Timezone>
#For example with me
sudo timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Paris

Then install the QEMU Guest Agent with :

Then shutdown and reboot your server with :
