Setting up your Zume server
Once you've configured your repository, you'll need to connect to your Zume 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 Zume Cloud Console
- Navigate to "Instances" or "Servers" section
- Select your specific server
- Go to "SSH Key" or "Access" settings
- Generate or view SSH credentials
Important Zume SSH Access Notes:
- SSH access is standard for Zume Servers
- Steps to enable SSH:
- Log into Zume Cloud Console
- Create or select a security group
- Ensure SSH (port 22) is allowed
- Attach SSH key to your instance
- Use SSH keys for enhanced security
- Two-factor authentication recommended
Typical Zume Server Formats:
- Server Instance:
xx.xx.xx.xx
(IP address) - Hostname:
your-server-name.zume.cloud
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 Zume server's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
.
Connection Troubleshooting:
- Verify security group allows SSH
- Confirm correct IP or hostname
- Ensure you're using the correct username (typically
ubuntu
orroot
) - Check network security settings
- Validate credentials in Zume console
