Connect to a VM ​

Use SSH to open a terminal, or Console to see the VM's screen in your browser. Log in with the username and password or SSH key you set for the VM. Your RemoteGPU account password is separate from the VM's password.

Before you connect ​

Open Virtual Machine / Instances and check that the VM is powered on. Copy its Public IP from the instance list or Public IPv4 from its details.

For RemoteGPU Ubuntu images, the username is root. Use the password or SSH key you entered when creating the VM. If you later changed its login settings, use the new settings.

Connect with SSH ​

Run this command from your own computer:

bash
ssh root@VM_PUBLIC_IP

Replace VM_PUBLIC_IP with the VM's public IPv4 address. The default SSH port is 22. At the password prompt, enter the VM's root password, not your RemoteGPU account password.

If you added an SSH public key when creating the VM, use the matching private key to connect:

bash
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 root@VM_PUBLIC_IP

Replace the key path if your private key is in a different file. On the first connection, SSH asks you to confirm the server's host key, which identifies the VM. If that key changes on a later connection, check whether you rebuilt the VM or are connecting to a different instance before accepting the new key.

The VM needs a working network connection and a running SSH service. Its firewall must allow connections to the SSH port.

Open the browser console ​

  1. Select Console next to the VM in the instance list.
  2. Allow popups for console.remotegpu.ai if the browser blocks the new tab.
  3. At the login prompt, sign in as root with the VM's root password.

The browser console works even when you cannot connect through SSH. Use it to read startup messages or fix network and SSH settings. You still need to log in to the VM. If the session expires, select Console again from the instance list.

Reset the root password ​

  1. Select Edit for the VM.
  2. Under Danger Zone, find Reset root password.
  3. Enter a new password that meets the form's requirements and select Reset.
  4. Follow the password update status, then verify the password by logging in.

Start the VM if it is stopped, and follow any restart instructions in the password update status. If the request remains pending, use the password reset checks. A pending request expires after 24 hours.

A password reset keeps your disk and files. It changes the password only; you may still need to fix the SSH service or its login settings. If you disabled password login over SSH, use the browser console to log in with the password.
