Quickstart
Spawn your first box in one command.
1. Spawn a box
ssh box@krillbox.gra.ke2.cloud.ovh.net
A wildcard ssh-config makes plain ssh mybox.box work:
Host *.box
User vmuser
ProxyCommand ssh -p 22 box@krillbox.gra.ke2.cloud.ovh.net %h
2. Run a command / copy files
ssh box@krillbox.gra.ke2.cloud.ovh.net uname -a
ssh box@krillbox.gra.ke2.cloud.ovh.net run ./build.sh # detached job
scp ./file box@krillbox.gra.ke2.cloud.ovh.net:/root/
3. Size & image
ssh box:debian-docker@krillbox.gra.ke2.cloud.ovh.net # pick an image (1st colon = image)
ssh box::big@krillbox.gra.ke2.cloud.ovh.net # bigger flavor (2nd colon = flavor)
ssh box:debian-docker:big@krillbox.gra.ke2.cloud.ovh.net # both: image then flavor
ssh cli@krillbox.gra.ke2.cloud.ovh.net box up mybox --image debian-docker --flavor big
The inline form is
box[:image[:flavor]] — the first
colon is the image, the second is the flavor. So a bare box:big
would ask for an image named "big"; use box::big (empty image) for the
big flavor.4. Manage your account
ssh cli@krillbox.gra.ke2.cloud.ovh.net box list
ssh cli@krillbox.gra.ke2.cloud.ovh.net images
ssh cli@krillbox.gra.ke2.cloud.ovh.net apikeys create laptop # API key for the HTTP API (shown once)
