Description

There are several steps you need to do before and after you finished spinning up RunCloud One-Click VM:

RunCloud Account

It is recommended that you have a RunCloud account before you begin spinning up the VM. This is to ensure a smooth process from spinning up RunCloud One-Click VM to server verification on RunCloud Panel. If you did not have an account yet, you can register here for free. You can also create an account after spinning up RunCloud One-Click VM.

Verification Process

We generate a verification link that is accessible via SSH. The verification link allows us to identify and verify that you are the owner of the VM. Below are a few steps that you need to do after you finished spinning up RunCloud One-Click VM:

1. Log into VM via SSH

First, you need to log into the VM via SSH. From a terminal on your local computer, connect to the VM as root as shown below. Please make sure to replace use_your_vm_ip_address with the actual RunCloud One-Click VM’s IP address which you have just created.

ssh root@use_your_vm_ip_address

2. Click or copy the verification link

Once you successfully log into the VM, you will see a MySQL Root Password and RunCloud User Password. Please duplicate and save this password because it only shows once.

You will also see that there is a verification URL provided. Click or copy that link and it will be directed to our RunCloud Panel. Do note that the verification link only valid for 24 hours.

3. Claim your server

After clicking the verification URL, you will be redirected to the Claim DigitalOcean Server page. If you already signed into RunCloud, you will see a simple verification form on this page.

You need to claim your ownership of the server that you just created using RunCloud One-Click VM by filling up the form and click Claim This Server button. RunCloud then will verify and start communicating with your VM.

After few moments, you will redirected to your VM/Server summary page. Congratulations! Verification process successful and you can start manage your VM via RunCloud Panel.
