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)
