Register self-managed workers
After you install and start the self-managed worker, you must register it with HCP. You can use the Admin Console Web UI or Boundary CLI to register self-managed workers.
Complete the following steps to register the worker with HCP using the UI:
Log in to the HCP portal as the admin user.
From the HCP Portal's Boundary page, click Open Admin UI.
Enter the admin username and password you created when you deployed the new instance and click Authenticate.
Select Workers in the navigation pane.
Click New.
(Optional) You can construct the contents of the
worker.hclfile on the new workers page, if you did not create the configuration file as part of the installation process. Provide the following details, and Boundary constructs the worker configuration file for you:- Boundary Cluster ID
- Worker public address
- Config file path
- Worker Tags
Scroll to the bottom of the new workers page, and paste the Worker Auth Registration Request key. Boundary provides you with the Worker Auth Registration Request key in the CLI output when you start the self-managed worker. You can also locate this value in the
auth_request_tokenfile.Click Register Worker.
Click Done.
The new self-managed worker appears on the Workers page.
