Welcome to this Vultr setup tutorial. In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how you can deploy an Ubuntu Server, log in to that Ubuntu Server via your SSH key. So the steps you're going to take first of all, of course, you have to create an SSH key on your computer, and then add it to Vultr. And then we're going to see how to deploy the server. After that, so first things first, let's create an SSH key on our computer, and then we're going to add that to Vultr. If you're on Windows, first of all, let me just start there. If you're on Windows, you can follow along with me. I'm on a Linux computer now, but you can follow along on Windows using Git Bash. Just download Git. So download and install Git from here for your Windows. Once you download it and install it, you're going to open Git Bash. Just search for Git Bash on the Start menu, and then you can follow along with Git Bash. So coming back, the first thing we're going to do, I want to create my key inside of this directory, and the key will be called that. So I'm going to create this directory.
Reset/ reinstall Vultr server : • Vultr reinstall server - Reset server...
I'm just going to copy and paste that in there, and the directory is now created. I want my keys to be inside of that directory. We're going to generate an SSH key of that type. If you don't know the different types of SSH keys that you can generate, you can just do `SSH keygen –help`, and then you're going to see a list of the different types of keys you can generate. But we're going to generate Ed25519 key, and that is the name of the key. You can change it to whatever you want. That is the location of where my key will be stored. If you want to change it, you can change that as well. So I'm just going to `Ctrl+Shift+V` to paste that in there, `Enter`, and you can give it a passphrase, but I'm not going to give mine a passphrase because this is just a sample that I'm doing. So I'll press `Enter`, and that will generate the SSH key without a passphrase. Once I do this, my keys are here. I can go inside of this directory and find them. If I just `cd` into this directory, `cd` to go into that directory, `Ctrl+Shift+V`, `Enter`. I'll `Ctrl+L` to clear the screen, and then I'm going to `ls`, and you can see inside there we have both our keys. So this is the key that we need to add to Vultr. The one with `.pub` is the one we're going to add to Vultr. So I can just do `cat Va`, I'll press `Tab`, and then add `.pub`. I just want to see the content of this, so I'm just going to copy that. I will put that on my Vultr account. So if you go to Vultr, go into Account, and then under Account, go into SSH Keys. And while you're here under SSH Keys, just come here to deploy, and then you can click on Add SSH key. And you can give it a name. I'll call mine Ed. And then I will paste the SSH key there and save. So our SSH key is added. The next step is for us to deploy our server, and then we're going to see how we can log in with that key. So let's come back to Products, or you can even go here under Deploy, and you can deploy a new server. I can do that here, or if you come back under the Product as well, you'll see there's Deploy, and you can deploy a new server. Or you can deploy a new server if you don't have any servers listed here. So I'm just going to click there on Deploy New Server. And then you need to choose the server type. So of course, dedicated CPU servers, these are very expensive. If that's the one you want, that's the one you can go for. But for us, we want to use the normal VPS servers, and these are under Shared CPU Servers. If you need Cloud GPUs, you can also get GPU servers right there. For us, Shared CPU is all we need for now. And then for the location, you can choose a location. I'm just going to choose somewhere in America. I'll just go with Chicago. And then the next step is for me to choose an operating system.
