isard

Guest bootstrap scripts for isard, the command-line tool for the Gencat / IsardVDI platform.

A freshly installed desktop usually has no SSH server, and no local account matching the credentials the IsardVDI bastion authenticates with. Both live inside the guest, so neither the CLI nor your own machine can fix them — these scripts do, in one line, run in the desktop's own viewer.

Scripts
