Setting up your project

Head to the Projects screen in DeployHQ, then click the New Project button to get started. You'll be prompted to enter a name for your project, then select where your repository is hosted.

Setting up your Leaseweb server

Once you've configured your repository, you'll need to connect to your Leaseweb server. Head to Servers & Groups, and click the New Server button at the top of the screen.

Start by entering a name, and choosing SSH/SFTP as the protocol.

To find your SSH credentials:

Log into your Leaseweb Control Panel
Navigate to "Servers" or "Hosting" section
Select your specific server or hosting package
Go to "SSH Access" or "Server Details" settings
Generate or view SSH credentials

Important Leaseweb SSH Access Notes:

SSH access is standard for most Leaseweb dedicated and cloud servers
Steps to enable SSH:
- Log into Leaseweb customer control panel
- Go to Server Management
- Verify SSH access is enabled
- Set up or reset SSH password
Two-factor authentication recommended

Typical Leaseweb Hostname Formats:

Dedicated Servers: serverXXX.leaseweb.com
Cloud Servers: cloudserver-XXX.leaseweb.net
VPS: vps-XXX.leaseweb.com

You can use an SSH key instead of a password by taking the SSH key in your DeployHQ server configuration page and pasting it in your Leaseweb server's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

Connection Troubleshooting:

Verify SSH is activated for your server
Confirm correct hostname
Ensure you're using the correct username
Check firewall and security group settings
Validate credentials in Leaseweb control panel

Typical Wordpress Path:

Dedicated/Cloud Hosting: /var/www/yourdomain/
WordPress Specific: /var/www/yourdomain/wordpress/
Web Root: /var/www/yourdomain/htdocs/

Within Deployment options, you can choose to automatically deploy your server and specify a Deployment subdirectory if needed.

Run your first deployment

By default, DeployHQ will upload the whole repository to your server on the first deployment.
