SSH Access

Accessing Your GPU Server Blib via SSH

Each GPU Server Blib runs a fully isolated instance of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with full root-level control. You can access your server directly via SSH using the credentials provided in the management interface.

1. Retrieving SSH Credentials

To access your server, open the Trooper.AI Management Interface and navigate to your active Blib instance.

Click on the “Actions” button to display the SSH connection details:

You will see the following information:

• Hostname (e.g. connect01.trooper.ai)
• SSH Port
• Username
• Password (click the eye icon to reveal)

You may use the copy buttons to paste the values directly into your terminal.

2. Establishing the SSH Connection

Use a standard SSH command to connect to your server:

ssh USERNAME@HOSTNAME -p PORT

Replace USERNAME, HOSTNAME, and PORT with the values from the dashboard.

Example:

ssh trooperai@connect01.trooper.ai -p 15012

If this is your first connection, your terminal may ask to confirm the server’s fingerprint:

The authenticity of host 'connect01.trooper.ai (IP)' can't be established.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? 

Type yes and press Enter to proceed.

3. Connection Confirmation

After a successful connection, you should see a standard shell prompt:

This indicates you are now logged into your GPU Server Blib.

4. Using Root Privileges

Although you are logged in as a non-root user for security reasons, your account is fully privileged. You can execute administrative tasks using sudo.

Examples:

sudo apt update
sudo fdisk -l

The first time you use sudo, you will be prompted to enter the provided password.

5. Notes

• Your SSH connection is secured and isolated.
• All installed templates (e.g., Jupyter, ComfyUI) remain active in parallel and accessible via the assigned public ports.
• For advanced provisioning or automation, you may integrate this access with rsync, scp, or configuration tools like Ansible.

For any access-related issues, please contact support@trooper.ai.
