VALDI: Start and connect to a Direct VM - storj/secure-stable-diffusion GitHub Wiki
- Create a VALDI account
- Add credits to your account
Log in to the VALDI dashboard and select the "Direct" button from the VALDI Services section.
While under the Virtual Machines section, look at the available VMs. Select a GPU with 16 GB RAM or more.
Recommended specification:
- Number of vCPUs:
8 - Amount of RAM (GB):
16 - Number of GPUs:
1 - Local Storage Size (GB):
50or more - Operating System: Ubuntu
- Select the checkboxes for all ports
Click the Launch Virtual Machine button.
Review the price on the confirmation dialog and click the Launch Virtual Machine button again.
Copy the connect info for the VM to a safe place. You will need this info to connect to the VM in the next step. The first line is the SSH command to execute in the Terminal. The second line is the password to authenticate with.
Click the Okay button. You will be redirected to the Your Session section.
The Your Session section should show the VM status as Running. Click it.
This opens the VM info. Look at the SSH Port field. If it displays the SSH port number (e.g. 10001), you can continue with the next step and connect to the VM.
If the SSH port number is not displayed yet, the SSH agent is still starting. Wait a little bit and refresh the page until the SSH port number is displayed.
Open the command terminal of your operating system and execute the command from the previous step to connect to the VM via SSH.
ssh -p <ssh-port> user@<ip-address>
Replace <ssh-port> and <ip-address> with the actual SSH port and IP address of your VM.
Respond with yes if prompted to accept a key fingerprint.
When prompted, enter the password (again, you should have it from the previous step).
You should see a Welcome to your VALDI Direct server. message and system information.
You are now connected to the VM.
