What you need for sshship
- A 64-bit Linux server (Ubuntu and Debian are common).
- SSH key access — we do not support password-only login.
- Outbound internet from the VPS for Git, package managers, and (for upload deploys) reaching sshship signed URLs.
After you have an IP and user, add the server in sshship and paste your private key. See the docs → SSH key setup.
