Quick Start Guide
Connect your VPS and let Symplax handle all the heavy lifting. No complex setup required.
What You Need
A VPS Server
Any VPS provider works
Server Credentials
IP address + root password
Symplax Account
Sign up is free
Click "Add Server"
From your dashboard, click the "Add Server" button. It's that simple to get started.
Enter Your Server Details
Just provide the basics - Symplax will handle the rest automatically:
Server Name
Give it a memorable name like "prod-01" or "api-server"
IP Address
Your server's public IP (e.g., 192.168.1.100)
Root Password
Your server's root password (we'll secure it automatically)
SSH Port (Optional)
Usually 22 - only change if you've customized it
Security First
After connecting, Symplax automatically generates SSH keys, disables password authentication, and secures your server following industry best practices.
Let Symplax Do The Magic
Click "Connect" and watch as Symplax automatically:
This usually takes 30-60 seconds. You'll see a progress indicator showing each step.
That's It! You're Ready to Deploy
Your server is now connected, secured, and monitored. Navigate to the Apps section to deploy your first application with zero configuration.
