GPU Server Blibs

GPU Server Blibs are fully root servers on high-end tuned up-cycled hardware with 100% Bare Metal Performance on GPU, RAM and CPU Cores. They are provisioned and managed through the official management interface at:

https://james.trooper.ai/manage

This interface provides full control over GPU servers, including creation, monitoring, secure access, template management, and lifecycle actions. Read full docs here.

UFW ATTENTION 🚨 You do not need a firewall (UFW) activated on your GPU Server Blib! Read more here: Do I need a Firewall on the GPU Server? AI Agents may tell you to secure the server with tools typically used in webserver scenarios. Don’t do that. An active UFW will block your access to the server.

1. Access and Overview

Running Blib Server in your your dashboard

After logging in at https://james.trooper.ai/manage , users are presented with a list of active and frozen Blibs. Each server entry includes the following information:

Blib name and status (running, stopped, frozen), read more: Blibs Status List
GPU configuration (e.g. 1× RTX 3090, 2× A100)
CPU and memory (e.g. 12 cores, 86 GB RAM)
NVMe SSD capacity
Assigned hostname (e.g. connect01.trooper.ai)
Allocated public port range
Installed software Templates (e.g. Jupyter Notebook, ComfyUI)
Secure HTTPS access, read more: HTTPS Access
GPU Drivers

System temperature and billing periods are also shown where applicable.

2. Creating and Starting a Server

To deploy a new GPU Server Blib:

Navigate to the Order GPU Server section or use the Create New Server function in the dashboard.
Select the desired server configuration (e.g. sparbox.m1, infinityai.m2).
Optionally, choose one or more templates to be pre-installed:
Confirm the selection and accept the terms.
Start the server.

Provisioning takes approximately 1 to 5 minutes, depending on the selected hardware. During the initial boot, system drivers and monitoring tools will be installed. One automatic restart is expected after GPU driver setup.

3. Stopping, Freezing, Resetting and Terminating GPU Server Blibs

Trooper.AI (Service Introduction) provides flexible lifecycle options for each Blib:

Stop: Halts the server. Resources (CPU, RAM, GPU) remain allocated, and the instance can be restarted within seconds.
Freeze: The server is archived and resource allocation is released. Startup time may vary and reassignment of ports may be required. Consider using the stopped state if predictable startup times are needed!
Reset: Deletes all data on the server and reinstalls the initial configuration. To exclude templates from the reinstallation, remove them from the server before resetting. This function does not affect your prepaid budget or predefined prices. But ports may change and provisioning of a new Blib can take some time. ALL DATA WILL BE LOST! This action cannot be undone. Contact us in any question regarding this reset function!
Terminate: Permanently deletes the server and all associated data. This action cannot be undone.

All lifecycle actions are accessible via the context menu in the dashboard.

4. Template Management

Software templates can be selected during server creation or installed afterwards. Templates automatically install dependencies, configure services, and open required ports.

Common templates include:

Multiple templates can be combined as needed on one server blib.

5. Public Network Access

Each Blib is assigned a dedicated range of public TCP ports (typically 10–40 open 1:1 NAT ports). These are accessible via the assigned hostname (e.g. connectXX.trooper.ai) and are displayed in the dashboard.

NOTE: For security reasons, long-lived connections may be periodically closed by our routing system. We recommend implementing robust reconnection and timeout handling within your software to ensure continued operation.

For detailed information on accessing your Blib, please refer to the following documentation:

6. Monitoring and System Information

The management interface provides the following real-time monitoring features:

CPU and GPU temperature display
Network traffic information
Resource utilization (CPU, RAM, GPU)
Template status and version
Uptime and lifecycle state

7. Behavior on Insufficient Credit

Blibs operate on a prepaid credit system. If the prepaid balance is depleted:

The server is automatically stopped and may be frozen.
If the balance is not replenished within 72 hours, the server and all associated data may be permanently deleted.

Note: Servers will not accrue charges without available credit. However, GPU resources are not guaranteed unless the balance is sufficient.

8. Contract Models and Resource Use

All GPU servers include 5 TB of monthly traffic per GPU. For example, a 2-GPU server includes 10 TB.
If usage exceeds this soft limit, bandwidth may be throttled or additional charges applied.
Discounts are available for weekly, monthly, and annual contracts.
Yearly contracts and business invoicing options are available upon request.

9. Data Protection and Compliance

All servers are hosted within the European Union (Germany, Netherlands, France).
GDPR-compliant processing is ensured.
A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) and/or Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is available upon request.

11. Migration / Upgrade of Blibs

Upgrade your existing GPU Server to a more powerful configuration is a great thing on Trooper.AI and very unique to us. This gives you the ability to seamlessly transition to more powerful hardware without losing your existing setup or data.

During migration, your server will be temporarily frozen. You’ll only see configurations with better or equal resources available. A migration service fee plus addition remaining interval costs, as displayed during the process, may apply.

Ports may change.

Just select “Migrate to better Blib” from the Actions pulldown on your server.
