We just released our new onboarding process for new and existing Workspaces to get their servers set up on the Serversinc platform.
Now all it takes to add a Server, whether new or existing, to your Workspace is to run a command on your server's terminal.
The command looks a little like this:
curl -sSL https://get.serversinc.io/import.sh | bash -s {token}
Your token will be automatically generated in the dashboard.
This script will do the following:
- Gather the necessary information about your server; CPU, Memory, Disk and IP Address.
- Exchange an SSH Key with Serversinc to allow us to connect to your server.
- Install Docker if it is not already installed.
- Install the Tugboat agent to allow us to manage your server.
Once the command has been executed, you will see your server appear in the dashboard. From here, you can start deploying Docker images to your server.
The old process
Our last onboarding process wasn't the easiest, nor the most straightforward. To add a server, you had to:
- Go to your servers list,
- Click import,
- Fill in name, server IP, RAM, CPU,,
- Click "Add",
- Run a quick script that generates SSH Key for Serversinc to talk to your server,
- Wait,
- Now your server is ready to play with
This often made new signups confused at what to do next, but with the new process we're happily getting people onboarded without an issue.
