Import the Image File in Cloudscale

  • In the Cloudscale WebUI, navigate to the "Custom Images" menu and click "Import a Custom Image".

Create a VM

  • Navigate to Servers and click Launch a new Server.
  • Enter your preferred FQDN or hostname.
  • Under Operating System, select Custom Images and choose your imported image.
  • Under Compute Flavor, select Flex-4-2 or Flex-8-2 depending on expected load (can be adjusted later). See Server Requirements for details.
  • Under Storage Capacity, set at least 30 GB. Please refer to Server Requirements.
  • Under Server Location, select your preferred zone.
  • Under Network Management, enable only IPv4 if the Stargate instance must be internet-accessible (e.g., for Office 365).
  • Under Access Security, select your SSH key (usable with the almalinux user).
  • Under Password, set any secure password you prefer.

Without a password, SSH password authentication is disabled

You must still use the initial password provided by HIN for your first login. However, if you do not set a new password, cloud-init will disable SSH password authentication for all users, allowing SSH access only via public key authentication.

  • Click Launch.

Install HIN Gateway

After the VM has been successfully created, proceed with the installation and onboarding steps as described in the provided instructions
