Go to http://<IP or HOSTNAME>:3000, eventually use traefik or nginx to proxy with SSL

Configure and test Semaphore

• Create a repo on Github, follow the instructions to add an ssh key to authenticate to github
• Add Keys to Semaphore: one with the private key used to authenticate to github, others with usee/pass or key authentication to the machines to manage
• Create a default environment, can be empty (put {} on both the spaces)
• Create a repository, using the ssh url of your repo and the github key previously created
• Create one or more inventories, at least one per authentication key, selecting the relative authentication key
• Create one test template per inventory, pointing to a ping playbook in your repo and run it to test connections.
