# 01) Initial launch of Cosmos Server
### Finding your Public IPv4
1. We should first obtain your Public IPv4 address of your server. You can accomplish this by issuing the following command:
```bash
curl -4 icanhazip.com
```
2. This will output your Public IPv4, which we will need when we first set up Cosmos Server.
### Checking if Cosmos Server is running
1. In the previous installation step, we ran the `docker run` command, which automatically started Cosmos Server.
2. It should therefore already be running. You can confirm this by running:
```bash
docker ps -a
```
3. The output should show Cosmos Server running:
```bash
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
cb1e2031f830 azukaar/cosmos-server:latest "sh -c './$(cat /bin…" 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes cosmos-server
```
4. From a console point of view, it should simply look like this:

### Heading into Cosmos
1. Enter your public IPv4 + port "80" into your browser to access your Cosmos instance. In my case, it looks like this:
```bash
89.33.85.247:80
```
2. When you visit your URL, it should look like this:
6. Yay! Now we're ready to continue!
### On to the next step!
