Register Dedicated Server

This article will explain how to register a Dedicated Server on Zeabur.

Prerequisites

  • You already have a server, and this server must have at least one public IP address that can be connected to.
  • The server must have at least 1 CPU core and at least 2 GB of memory.
  • The server must have the following ports open: 22, 80, 443, 4222, 6443, 30000-32767.
  • The server must allow SSH login, and the username must be root.
  • This server must allow login using the root user or another user who can use sudo, either through a password or SSH key.
💡

If you are not using the root user, considering that Zeabur configures the machine in a non-interactive environment (unable to enter the password on your behalf), please ensure that the sudo user group to which your user belongs has been granted the tag, NOPASSWD.

Registration Steps

add machine to zeabur

  1. After logging into Zeabur, click on “My Servers” in the top navigation bar or at the top of the project list page, or directly visit https://zeabur.com/servers.
  2. Click the “Create” button in the upper right corner of the page, then select “Connect your own Server”.
  3. Enter the server’s IP address and SSH port (default is 22).
  4. Enter the username (e.g., root), then choose the login method (password or SSH key).
  5. If you choose a password, enter the password below; if you choose an SSH key, enter the SSH key below.
⚠️

Zeabur only accepts SSH keys in OpenSSH format (the private key starts with -----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----). Some cloud providers, such as Tencent Cloud, provide SSH keys in the legacy RSA PEM format (-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----) by default, which will cause an SSH connection failure. To convert your key to OpenSSH format, run:

ssh-keygen -p -N "" -f /path/to/your_private_key

After conversion, paste the updated key content into the SSH key field.

  1. Click the “Add Server” button and wait for the server registration to complete (this process takes about 30 seconds).
  2. After successful registration, you will see the newly registered server in the server list.
  3. Wait about a minute until the status shows “Online” and the CPU and memory usage can be displayed normally.

If you encounter registration failure, please report it to us on the Discord server.
