Get started

Install the engine, set up your first hosting account, deploy something real.

  1. 1 Install One real command on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04 or Debian 12 server. ~3 minutes from bootstrap to a working dashboard. Idempotent — safe to re-run.
  2. 2 First boot Admin account → first-boot wizard (5 steps) → dashboard handoff. Five minutes start to finish.
  3. 3 Your first real deploy WordPress in 2 min, Next.js from Git, database-backed apps, SSL, mail, backups — concrete walkthroughs.
Lifecycle

Licensing, plans, updates, recovery, and the in-product support loop.

  1. 1 Licensing 30-day trial, activating a paid license, tier and capacity limits, heartbeat health, troubleshooting.
  2. 2 Tiers & features Plan-to-tier name mapping, per-tier feature unlock matrix, what happens when you hit a gate.
  3. 3 Reporting bugs How to send a Vloud-engine bug report from your dashboard, what's in the diagnostic bundle, and what happens after you click Submit.
  4. 4 Updating Vloud Release types, auto/manual settings, blue/green canary apply, rollback, and what to do when an update fails.
  5. 5 Recovery & safe mode What to do when the engine refuses to boot, when a migration breaks, or when an update fails. The vloud-rescue CLI + safe-mode are the safety nets.
Operations

Day-2 administration: modules, hosting accounts, tenant portal, migration.

  1. 1 Modules & runtimes What's installed by default, daemon-stack skip variables, optional runtimes (MySQL/Postgres/Redis/Docker), and per-tier feature flags.
  2. 2 Operator guide Day-to-day administration patterns — hosting accounts, quotas, capacity planning, suspending tenants, monitoring, support.
  3. 3 Tenant portal What your customers see when they log into their own hosting account — files, databases, email, DNS, cron, terminal. SSO-isolated from operator and other tenants.
  4. 4 cPanel migration Pull existing accounts (users, domains, MySQL, mailboxes, DNS, files) from a WHM/cPanel server into Vloud — one account at a time or in bulk.
Reference

Topical docs you reach for as the need arises.

  1. 1 Mission Control The home screen of the Vloud Console — four scores, one timeline, every signal that matters in a glance.
  2. 2 Security Engine Real-time malware scanning, YARA rules, quarantine, and the upload gateway.
  3. 3 Offline / air-gap mode Run Vloud on servers with no internet, verified against signed monthly mirror bundles.
