Setting up your Cloudminister server

Once you've configured your repository, you'll need to connect to your Cloudminister 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:

  1. Log into your Cloudminister Control Panel
  2. Navigate to "Servers" or "Hosting" section
  3. Select your specific server or hosting package
  4. Go to "SSH Access" or "Server Details" settings
  5. Generate or view SSH credentials

Important Cloudminister SSH Access Notes:

  • SSH access is standard for most Cloudminister hosting solutions
  • Steps to enable SSH:
    • Log into Cloudminister customer control panel
    • Go to Server Management
    • Verify SSH access is enabled
    • Set up or reset SSH password
  • Two-factor authentication recommended

Typical Cloudminister Hostname Formats:

  • Hosting: yourdomain.cloudminister.com
  • SSH Access: ssh.yourdomain.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 Cloudminister 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 Cloudminister control panel

Typical Wordpress Path: - 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.
