SSH Access

With SimpleDeployr, there's no question who owns your server.... you do!  (of course with the help of the cloud provider, Amazon!)

So why hold back?  Once launched, you can SSH in to start tinkering.  Follow the instructions below to do just that.  However, we hope you remember one of the most fundamental pieces to cloud computing, keep your servers stateless so they are designed for failure.

  1. Go to your project settings page
  2. Look for the "SSH key name" field and click "show/hide"
  3. Copy that key and store it safely and securely on your machine (this key gives you access to your server)

Unix/Linux/Mac
  1. Go to your terminal
  2. type 'ssh -i <path_to_key> <instance_public_dns>'

You're in!
