This page shows how to create a server from an image. To create a server from a snapshot, see Restore a snapshot.

Before you begin ​

  • You need the Owner, Admin, or Developer role.
  • Your team needs a payment method. If it has none, the page shows Add a payment method to create servers. See Payment methods.
  • Add your public key in Settings > SSH keys if you want to sign in with SSH. You can also add a key on this page. See Connect with SSH.

Steps ​

  1. Go to Servers. Click New server.
  2. Type a Name, such as pos-mumbai.
  3. Under Image, select Frappe or Ubuntu. See Images.
  4. Select an Image build.
  5. In SSH keys, select the keys that can sign in to the server.
