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

Send an email, or an IRC message 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.

Generate a fresh new key pair from your computer,

ssh-keygen -N "" -t ed25519 ~/.ssh/my_account_key

Append this host 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.

Connect to the remote dashboard (TUI over ssh),

ssh -6 crocuda.com
# "-6" option can be removed if persisted in ~/.ssh/config as "AddressFamily inet6".

Access your VMs.

An ssh server is already running, and populated with your account username and ssh public key.

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

# /etc/hostnames
# vm ipv6         vm name
2001:db8::ec02  cro-my_vm_name

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

# ~/.ssh/config
Host 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 cro-my_vm_name
```
