In RunAbove, it is possible to create new instances with dedicated hardware in few seconds! But how you can create new instances?

Generate an SSH key

The first time you create a instance, you will need to add a new SSH key. This key will be used to administer your server. To create a new SSH key, you can use ssh-keygen. Your public key will be available in .ssh/id_rsa.pub

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"

Open your manager

Open RunAbove Control panel with your login details.

Add a new instance

Click on Add in the left-hand menu and choose to add an Instance.

Fill in the form with your custom configuration:

• Image is the distribution you choose
• Region is the area where the instance is stored
• Template is the hardware profile you want

If you don't already have registered a SSH key, select Create an SSH key and give it a name, and copy the content of your public key.

Your instance is ready!

When the status of your instance is active, you can access your server with SSH
