Account Setup

Everything you need to go from zero to a working account: sign up, create a workspace, set up billing, and add an SSH key.

Create an account​

  1. Go to console.rumptycloud.com/n
  2. Choose a username, enter your email, and set a password (at least 10 characters)
  3. Accept the terms and click Create account
  4. A verification link is sent to your email. Click it to activate your account, then log in

Create your first workspace​

The first time you log in, you'll be prompted to create a workspace. A workspace is the top-level container for everything you build: VMs, deployments, databases, volumes, and more.

  1. Enter a Workspace name (e.g. Makulu Production)
  2. Add an optional Description
  3. Click Create workspace →

You'll land on that workspace's dashboard. See Workspaces for switching, slug IDs, and multi-workspace setups.

Set up billing​

Resources are billed hourly, so set up billing before you start creating things. Go to Others → Billing:

  • Click + Fund cloud credit to top up your prepaid balance with a card. You can save the card during checkout for faster top-ups later
  • Have a promo code? Open the Wallet tab, enter it under Promo code, and click Apply code

Usage draws down from your credit as resources run. See Billing for how usage, credit, and invoices fit together.

Add an SSH key​

SSH keys are injected into new virtual machines so you can open a shell without passwords.

  1. Go to Settings → SSH keys in your workspace sidebar
  2. Enter a Key name (e.g. MacBook Pro)
  3. Paste your Public key and click Add key

Generate a key first if you don't have one:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "rumpty"

Then paste the contents of ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub into the Public key field. See SSH Keys for fingerprints and key management.

Next steps​

You're set up. Head to the Quick Start to launch your first VM or deployment.
