systemd
└── lab-init (oneshot) - SSH keys, PostgreSQL DB init, sysctl (ES limits)

- SonarQube takes 2–3 minutes to fully initialize on first boot (Elasticsearch startup).
- The SonarQube UI tab may show a loading screen - this is normal.
Accessing SonarQube
Inside the lab: click the SonarQube UI tab. That's it.
- The ↗ arrow on the tab opens SonarQube in a new browser tab - but only after the SonarQube UI tab has loaded inside the lab first.
Public URL: cloudflared is pre-installed. Install a tunnel token and
point the route to localhost:80 for SSL access on your own domain.
First boot credentials
