Sign up, get your organisation approved, top up your wallet and add an SSH key. After this you can create anything.
1. Sign up
Go to the sign-up page and choose Google, GitHub or email. With email, use a password of at least 12 characters.
Signing up creates an organisation with you as its owner. Everything you create belongs to the organisation, not to you personally.
2. Wait for approval
New organisations are reviewed before resources can be created, usually within a working day. You can top up, add SSH keys and invite teammates while you wait.
3. Add your organisation details
Open Settings → Organisation and fill in the legal name, TIN, billing email and address. They are printed on your monthly VAT invoice.
- Legal name and address: as registered with CAC.
- TIN: needed for VAT invoices your accountant can use.
- Default region: Lagos (
LOS1).
4. Turn on two-factor sign-in
Open Settings → Profile → Sign-in and security and add an authenticator app. Owners can require two-factor sign-in for everyone from the Team page.
5. Top up and add an SSH key
Open Billing → Top up, pick an amount from ₦5,000 and pay with Paystack by card, bank transfer or USSD. The wallet is credited as soon as Paystack confirms.
Then add the public key you will use for servers under Settings → SSH keys:
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
Paste the contents of ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub. Never paste a private key.
