Setup Authentication

Set a password, or an SSH key if you are familiar with them

Click Advanced Options

Click Add Initialization Scripts

Copy Paste the Setup script

Script link: https://github.com/rfresh2/ZenithProxy/blob/1.21.4/scripts/cloud-init.yaml

The setup script will automatically download the ZenithProxy launcher to ~/ZenithProxy, and install recommended tools like tmux.

Create Droplet

Wait about 5-10 mins for the droplet to fully setup before proceeding.

SSH to the droplet

Find and copy the droplet's IP address on the DigitalOcean homepage

I recommend using Windows Terminal

Open the terminal and type:

ssh root@<IP>

After, it will prompt you for a password if one is set.

If so, type the password and press enter. The password input is hidden while you are typing.

Setup and Launch ZenithProxy

Start a tmux session:

tmux

If you did this successfully you should see a big green bar appear at the bottom

Change directories to the ZenithProxy folder:

cd ZenithProxy

Run the launcher:

./launch

During setup, select the linux platform:

Complete the rest of the setup and you're done.
