Hive Cloud Box Quick Start: Complete First Use in 5 Minutes

Preparations

Before you begin, please make sure you have the following items ready:

Hive Cloud Box Host × 1
12V Power Adapter × 1
Gigabit Ethernet Cable (or Wi-Fi environment)
Monitor + HDMI Cable (optional, can also be controlled purely remotely)

Step 1: Hardware Connection

Insert the Ethernet cable into the gigabit port on the back of the cloud box.
Connect the HDMI to the monitor (optional).
Plug in the 12V power supply and press the power button.

When the cloud box starts up, the indicator light will flash orange, and after about 30 seconds, it will turn to a steady green, indicating that the system is ready.

Step 2: Access the Management Panel

After the system has started, access the following URL from a browser on a device within the same local network:

http://nestbox.local:8080

Or access via IP address (the IP is displayed on the cloud box screen or in the router’s backend):

http://192.168.x.x:8080

Step 3: Create Your First Cloud Phone Instance

After logging in, click on “Create New Instance”.
Select the configuration (for beginners, 4 cores/4GB is recommended).
Choose the Android version (Android 12 is recommended).
Click “Create Now” and wait for about 1 minute for the initialization to complete.

Step 4: Connect and Use

Once the instance is successfully created, click the “Connect” button to see the full Android interface in your browser.

Install the applications you need and start using them!
