Setup Authentication

I recommend SSH keys if you are familiar with them. Otherwise, set a password.

There are instructions for how to setup SSH keys if you click the "Add SSH Key" button

Click Advanced Options

Click Add Initialization Scripts

Copy Paste the Setup script

Script link: https://github.com/rfresh2/ZenithProxy/blob/1.21.0/scripts/cloud-init.yaml

The setup script will automatically download the ZenithProxy launcher to ~/ZenithProxy, and install recommended tools like tmux.

Create Droplet

Wait about 5-10 mins for the droplet to fully setup before proceeding.

SSH to the droplet

Find and copy the droplet's IP address on the DigitalOcean homepage

I recommend using Windows Terminal

Open the terminal and type:

ssh root@<IP>

Setup and Launch ZenithProxy

tmux

If you did this successfully you should see a big green bar appear at the bottom

Change directories to the ZenithProxy folder:

cd ZenithProxy

Run the launcher:

./launch

Complete the rest of the setup and you're done.
