Getting started with the pubnix is really simple!
Firstly, you need to generate an SSH key, if you don't already have one.
Instructions on how to generate a key can be found on the Generating an SSH key article.
Now, you can signup on the Pubnix Registration page on the website.
Note: You can only use numbers and lowercase letters for your pubnix username due to usersite limitations.
To prevent abuse, we manually check all registrations.
If it takes more than 24 hours, feel free to contact us.
Once your registration is approved, you will get an email from us stating the same.
To login, as mentioned in the email, run
ssh USERNAME@p.projectsegfau.lt
If you have multiple ssh keys, you might need to add this flag:
-i .ssh/KEY_USED_TO_SIGNUP_FOR_PUBNIX
At this point, you can get the password used for logging in to the Pubnix from your browser, or RDP and for signing up to other Project Segfault services with Pubnix by running this command:
cat ~/pass
You should save the password locally and remove it from the pubnix as soon as possible.
With the basics setup, you can now host websites, install packages and chat on IRC using the Pubnix!
You can also fill details about yourself for other members to see, and add another SSH key to be able to access the Pubnix from another machine!
