Adding a Server

Step 1: Click Add Server​

From the dashboard, click Add Server and enter:

  • Name — a friendly label (e.g., "Production Web")
  • IP Address — your server's public IP
  • SSH Key (optional) — paste your existing public key, or let srvly generate one

Step 2: Run the Connect Command​

After creation, you'll see a one-liner to run on your server:

curl -sL https://YOUR_DOMAIN/connect.sh | bash -s -- 'SSH_PUBLIC_KEY'

This command installs the SSH key, Docker, UFW, and Fail2Ban — all in one go.

Step 3: Test the Connection​

Click Test Connection from the server detail page. srvly will attempt an SSH connection and report the server's OS, RAM, disk, and uptime.

Step 4: You're Connected!​

Your server appears in the dashboard with live health data. You can now deploy apps, view logs, restart services, and more.
