Guides and news

How-to guides for working with your VM, and news about Baadal.

Baadal has a new interface: sign-in with your IIT Delhi account, a browser console, clearer requests and approvals, and a dark mode.

Baadal VMs reach the internet through the institute proxy. Set it once for the shell, the package manager, pip and git.

Bring the new disk online, initialise it and create a volume with Disk Management.
