Hello @ed.brower

Here you can find the official documentation for the Bitnami MEAN image in GCE:
https://docs.bitnami.com/google/infrastructure/mean/

There you can find the credentials, how to connect using SSH, how to connect with external clients and much more.

Let us know if the documentation helped you solve the issue.
Regards,
Jorge

Thanks for the quick response.. unfortunately, these instructions don't really a) allow me to access RockMongo nor provide the info for Robo3T.. some specifics

Accessing RockMongo
1) I was able to ssh tunnel per the instructions no problem!
2) when I tried to connect to the URL listed in the instructions, I get the Site Cannot be Reached page with 127.0.0.1 refused to connect.

I managed to Access Robo 3T.. please provide this information in your documentation ! this is long, so please bear with!!!
1) there are 3 settings panels that generated questions for me: Connection asks for Direct Connection/Replica Set... choose Direct Connection, name: Bitnami, Address: localhost: 27017
2) Authentication tab: Check Perform authentication, Database: admin, Username: root, password: application password, auth mechanism, SCRAM-SH-1
3) SSH tab: check Use SSH tunnel, ssh address: the ssh address on your panel under Server Info (next to the blue icon.. note it never calls it the Server-IP as listed in the documentation.. perhaps the panel should label the address as Server-IP on the Server Info panel), SSH user name: bitnami, ssh auth method, Private key, Private key: select .pem file on Mac, Passphrase: application password.

Thanks again and hope this helps someone else too!!!
