Crocuda_vps is currently in open alpha (2nd release).

Send an email or a chat for whatever bug, troubleshoot or particular request.

Here everything is done from the terminal with the much suited authentication mechanism ssh.

Consequently, a single cryptographic key pair is the only thing you need to register and log in.

Log into your account.

From the command line only:

Generate a fresh new key pair from your computer,

#ssh-keygen -N "" -t ed25519 -f <new_account_key_path>
ssh-keygen -N "" -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/crocuda

And open the dashboard at crocuda.com.

#ssh <remote_url> -i <account_key_path>
ssh crocuda.com -i ~/.ssh/crocuda

Or with a persisted ssh configuration:

Append the host crocuda.com to your ssh configuration at ~/.ssh/config, plus some mandatory environment variables.

# ~/.ssh/config
Host crocuda.com
  AddressFamily inet6 # Forces connection over ipv6 (equivalent of "-6")

  Preferredauthentications publickey # Priority to key auth
  IdentitesOnly yes # Use the provided key only

  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/my_account_key

  SetEnv FIRSTNAME="John" LASTNAME="Doe" EMAIL="john@d.oe" PHONE="+0000000000"

  # Mandatory KYC Env :(
  # FIRSTNAME="John"
  # LASTNAME="Doe"
  # EMAIL="john@d.oe"
  # PHONE="+0000000000"

  # Optional Config Env :)
  # KbdLayout="qwerty" # qwerty | colemak

Notice that environment variables must all be set over a single line after the SetEnv option.

And open the dashboard at crocuda.com.
```
ssh crocuda.com
```

Access your VMs.

The Vm ssh server is already running, and has been populated with your account username and ssh public key.

No need for further configuration.

#ssh -i  <account_key> <vm_ip>
ssh -i  ~/.ssh/my_account_key 2001:db8::ec02

First, add your VM to the list of known hostnames for convenient name resolution.

# /etc/hostnames
# <vm_ipv6>       <vm_alias>
2001:db8::ec02    vps_cro_1

Append this generic configuration to ~/.ssh/config.

# ~/.ssh/config
Host vps_cro_* # Every VM that begins with "cro/" in their name
    AddressFamily inet6

    Preferredauthentications publickey
    IdentitesOnly yes

    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/my_account_key

Connect to your fresh VM.
```
#ssh <vm_alias>
ssh vps_cro_1
```
