Documentation
Docs are still being milled.
The full knowledge base is coming. In the meantime, here's enough to get a fresh server from "ordered" to "logged in."
README.TXT
Connect over SSH
Once your packet is milled, you'll get an IP address and root credentials by email. Connect with:
packetmill$ ssh root@YOUR_SERVER_IP
Password authentication is enabled by default — switch to keys after your first login.
First things to do on a new server
packetmill$ apt update && apt upgrade -y
Standard on Debian/Ubuntu images.
packetmill$ adduser deploy && usermod -aG sudo deploy
Create a non-root user before you do anything else.
packetmill$ ufw allow OpenSSH && ufw enable
Turn on the firewall before you open anything else to the Internet.
Need something specific? Email hello@thepacketmill.comand a mill worker will get back to you.
