Quick Start Guide

Go from zero to a running server in less than 5 minutes.

1

Create an Account & Project

If you haven't already, register for an account.

Upon your first login, you will be guided through our Onboarding Flow. You MUST create a project (Institution) to proceed. This project will be the container for all your future resources.

Tip: Choose a descriptive name like "Research Team Alpha" or "Backend Infrastructure".
2

Add an SSH Key

VyralCloud servers are secure by default and do not support password authentication for the root user. You must use an SSH key.

To generate a key on your local machine:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your-email@example.com"

Then copy the public key content:

cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

Keep this key ready to paste in the next step.

Launch Your Server

  1. Navigate to the Servers tab in the dashboard.
  2. Click the Create Server button.
  3. Enter a hostname (e.g., web-01).
  4. Select an OS Image (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04) and Type (e.g., CX22).
  5. Paste your SSH Public Key in the text area.
  6. Click Create Server.

The provisioning process usually takes 10-30 seconds.

Connect!

Once the server status indicator turns green, copy the displayed IP address. 

ssh root@<your-server-ip>

Congratulations! You now have full root access to your cloud server.
