What you need

This guide is for a server you already have and can reach over SSH. GRIDer still installs itself — you only have to trigger it, with a single command.

A server with Ubuntu 24.04 (recommended), Ubuntu 22.04 or Debian 12, and a public IPv4 address.
At least 2 vCPU, 4 GB of RAM and 20 GB of disk, running 24/7.
Root access to that server (or a user that can use sudo).
Your GRIDer license: the install URL and the install token that came with it.

Have not created the server yet? If your provider has a “User data” or “Cloud-init” field, you can install it without ever opening a terminal.

Install with cloud-init instead

Your install URL is valid for 5 downloads over 72 hours, and every attempt counts. If you run out, ask for a fresh one in your Discord ticket — your license and your token stay the same.
