```
https://vk-cloud.swarmica.com
admin@swarmica.local
VK-Cloud!Swarmica
```

### **Changing the domain name**

To change the domain name from vk-cloud.swarmica.com to your own, run a command inside the virtual machine:

sudo make -f /root/swarmica/Makefile change-hostname HOSTNAME=my.new.hostname.tld
```
