Quickstart Guide

Email us

Shoot us an email to join@exozy.me (optionally using GPG) and introduce yourself, explain what you plan to do with exozyme, your desired username and display name, and optionally include your SSH public key. We'll reply with your new account's temporary password.

Logging in

You can log into our server either using remote desktop or SSH if you emailed us your SSH key. For remote desktop, go to the exodesk web client (or any other RDP client) and type in your exozyme username and password. You'll be dropped into a desktop, which might take a few seconds to load.

In the bottom left corner you'll see the all-powerful application menu, which you can use to launch apps. You should change your password now using the passwd command. In your remote desktop, open the application menu and start the Konsole app, then type passwd to set a new password. You can install more apps using the Discover app store. Your remote desktop session will automatically be logged out after an hour of inactivity. To change your account details like your email address or shell, use the command moduser.

Programming

Check out our online programming environment, exohub. You can install command-line software with Nix or Distrobox.

Enter the Matrix

You can chat with your friends on Matrix and other networks using your exochat account. To start, go to the Element web client. (Since exochat is powered by Matrix, so you can also use any Matrix client, such as the exocloud integrated Matrix client.) Make sure you change your homeserver to exozy.me instead of matrix.org, and sign in with your exozyme username and password.
