Hello,
Unfortunately, it’s not possible to SSH into a component because SSH is not enabled. The console is similar to running “docker exec -it CONTAINER_ID /bin/bash” command and not a Linux box. It is useful for diagnostic purposes; by running commands in the console, you can see the active processes that are running inside the container, browse its local file system, monitor resource usage, observe system logs, and more. You know more about it at:
