Install Godspeed Mission Control on a server

A server is a Linux computer you rent from a hosting company, which stays on day and night. The company charges a monthly fee. You also need Telegram on your phone for the setup.

Any hosting company works. Choose a server with:

• an Intel or AMD processor (often called x86-64), not ARM
• Ubuntu 24.04 or Debian, with nothing else installed on it
• about 8 GB of free disk

At Hostinger, for example:

1. Open Hostinger's VPS plans (VPS is what they call a rented server), choose a plan and complete the checkout. Every plan fits.
2. When Hostinger asks which operating system to install, choose Ubuntu 24.04 under Plain OS.

Purchases through this link support Godspeed at no extra cost to you.

1. Open your server's terminal, the window for typing commands. At Hostinger, open your server in the control panel and use its browser terminal. Elsewhere, type ssh root@ and your server's address in a terminal on your own computer.

2. Paste this line and press Enter:

   TerminalCopyCopied

   curl -fsSL https://godspeedmissioncontrol.com/server | bash

3. Wait a few minutes while it sets everything up. You see lines like these:

   Installing Godspeed Mission Control on this server.
   - Installing Docker, the program Godspeed runs in. This takes a few minutes.
   - Downloading Godspeed Mission Control (a few minutes).
   - Starting it.
   - Getting the security certificate for https://203-0-113-7.sslip.io (up to 5 minutes).

4. At the end it prints your server's address and a private link:

   Your mission control is installed at https://203-0-113-7.sslip.io.
   
   To talk to it, open this private link in your browser to make your account:
   
     https://203-0-113-7.sslip.io/setup#invite=...

5. Open the private link in your browser.

First setup: make your account and connect your AI.

Without a domain name, your server gets a free address made from its IP address, like 203-0-113-7.sslip.io, with a real security certificate. To use your own name instead, point it at the server, then run:

curl -fsSL https://godspeedmissioncontrol.com/server | GODSPEED_HOST=mission.example.com bash

• "This server is still installing its own updates." A new server updates itself in its first minutes. The installer waits, up to 15 minutes, then carries on.
• It stops with one sentence. That sentence says what to fix, for example a busy port or a closed firewall. Fix it and run the same line again: nothing is lost. Problems while installing lists them.
