Shells getting started
First login
When your account is created you will receive a temporary password you can use to log in with over SSH. You will then be asked to set a new password yourself. This password will be used for most of our services unless specified otherwise.
Manager
Many aspects of the shell service are configured through our custom system manager. When you're logged in over SSH you can access it by running the command manager.
Storage
The servers storage is split into two parts; The main storage where your home directory lives, and a cold storage drive for infrequently accessed bulk storage. You will have a coldstorage folder in your home directory that is linked to the cold storage drive.
| Main storage | Cold storage | |
|---|---|---|
| Storage type | SSD | HDD |
| Redundancy | RAID-5 | No redundancy |
| Backups | Daily | Weekly |
| Storage quota | 10 GB | No quota |
Containers
You can run OCI (docker) containers on our server. We use podman to implement a (mostly) docker compatible runtime.
Open ports
See the Ports page for which ports can be used to expose custom services.
