Deploy your first machine#

Open Machines → Deploy and pick:

  1. TemplateOptional. Empty gives you a clean machine.
  2. ImageFiltered by the region's registry and your plan's memory.
  3. PlanThe free tier is pinned to Alpine and deploys on a0.
  4. RegionSee the region list.
  5. Label1–63 characters (lowercase letters, numbers, dots, hyphens). It becomes the machine's hostname and must be unique among your machines.
  6. Root passwordType one or use the generator. It is never stored by the platform; it rides only the create call.
  7. App portsPrefilled with 3000, removable, up to 16.

Connect to your machine#

Once the state turns running, there are three ways in:

  • ConsoleThe browser terminal in the machine drawer. It dials the guest's sshd with your platform-held key, so login is passwordless.
  • Web routesPublish an app port from the machine's Routes section and open the minted https://….farlec.app URL.
  • Your own SSH keyPass it at create time, then ssh into the machine directly.
bash 
ssh root@<machine-ip>   # with your own key from create time
