Interested in exozyme? You can get started by emailing <ahref="mailto:join@exozy.me">join@exozy.me</a> and introducing yourself and what you plan to do with exozyme. Please also mention what you want your username to be. We may ask a few follow-up questions, and once everything is figured out, we'll get you an exozyme account set up right away!
OK, so you've joined exozyme! You can start by logging into your remote exozyme desktop with the <ahref="https://desk.exozy.me">exodesk</a> web client. (If you want to use a RDP client app, check out the <ahref="https://git.exozy.me/exozyme/exozyme/wiki/Remote-desktop-clients">wiki</a>) Anyways, you should see a login screen, and type in your exozyme username and password. You'll be dropped into a desktop, which might take a few seconds to load properly. Enjoy your exozyme desktop!
In the bottom left corner you'll see the all-powerful application menu. Click on it, open up the Konsole app, and <b>change your password</b> with the <i>passwd</i> command. You should be able to run any app on server, and even install more apps using the Discover app store. When you're done, please <b>remember to log out</b> by selecting "Log Out" in the application menu. <b>Closing the browser tab does not log you out.</b>
Try our powerful collaboration and productivity suite by going to <ahref="https://cloud.exozy.me">exocloud</a> and logging in with your exozyme username and password. If things work out, you'll be taken to your exocloud homepage!
So what can you do with exocloud? Well, judging by the sheer number of icons on the top bar, a lot! There's cloud storage, an email client, photo manager, music player, calendar, and an integrated exochat client. Your data is safe on exozyme!
You can chat with your friends on <ahref="https://matrix.org">Matrix</a> and other networks including <ahref="/blog/dont-use-discord">Discord</a> using your <b>exochat</b> account. To start, go to your exocloud home page and click on the <ahref="https://cloud.exozy.me/apps/riotchat/">Element app</a> on the top. (exochat is powered by Matrix, so you can use any <ahref="https://matrix.org/clients/">Matrix client</a>, but remember to change the homeserver to use <ahref="https://chat.exozy.me">chat.exozy.me</a> instead of matrix.org) Now sign in with your exozyme username and password as usual, and welcome to your shiny new exochat account!
Let's join some rooms and spaces (groups of rooms) now. You'll definitely want to join the <ahref="https://matrix.to/#/!epVJFHxAwGJBqjgGoQ:exozy.me?via=exozy.me&via=matrix.org">exozyme space</a> and hang out, and <ahref="https://matrix.to/#/#offtopic:matrix.org">#offtopic</a> is another fun one. One of Matrix's most ambitious goals is to <ahref="https://matrix.org/bridges/">bridge its network to as many others as possible</a>, so you might want to check out our <ahref="https://git.exozy.me/exozyme/exozyme/wiki/Bridge-Discord-and-Matrix">wiki</a> for instructions on bridging Discord to Matrix.

If you don't need a desktop, please log in to a terminal with SSH to save bandwidth. It's as simple as <i>ssh USERNAME@exozy.me</i>. Check out our <ahref="https://git.exozy.me/exozyme/exozyme/wiki/SSH">wiki</a> for more details.
It's incredibly easy to host a website on exozyme and only takes two minutes! Open up the file explorer in your remote desktop or log in with SSH. Now navigate to the <i>/srv/http/pages/users</i> folder. Create a new folder named your username which will hold the content for your new website. Make an actual page by creating a file called <i>index.html</i> and write some text. If you open up <ahref="https://exozy.me/~USERNAME">https://exozy.me/~USERNAME</a>, you should see your website live in action!
