First Setup

When you first open Sunflare, a setup wizard walks you through everything.

Step 1: Create a Secure Key

Sunflare generates an SSH key for you — like a digital ID card. Your device keeps the private part, your servers get the public part.

1. Give your key a name (e.g., “My SSH Key”)
2. Click Create Key
3. Copy the public key that appears
4. Add it to your server’s ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file

Quick way to add the key

If you already have password access to your server:

echo "PASTE_PUBLIC_KEY_HERE" >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Step 2: Add a Machine

Enter your server’s connection details:

• Name — A friendly label (e.g., “Dev Server”)
• Address — IP address or hostname
• Port — Usually 22
• Username — Your login name on the server
• Key — Select the key you just created

Click Test Connection to verify everything works.

Step 3: Start Using It

That’s it! Click Open Terminal to connect to your machine.

Everything else — documentation browsing, AI integration, themes — can be configured later in Settings.
