Getting started after deploying Hiddify¶

After payment of the order, a notification of the server's readiness for operation will be sent to the e-mail address specified during registration. It will contain the IP address of the VPS, as well as the login and password for connection. Clients of our company manage the equipment in the server control panel and API - Invapi.

Here you can also find the credentials, which can be found either in the Info >> Tags tab of the server control panel or in the email sent to you:

• Login and Password for server management: sent to your email address upon server readiness after software deployment.

Connecting to the Server and Logging into Hiddify¶

To connect to the server and log into Hiddify, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal and connect to the server using the command:

   ssh root@<server_ip>
   

2. Upon your first connection, you'll need to confirm the server's authenticity - enter yes to add the key to your list of known hosts.

3. After successful authorization, a standard security notification will appear on your terminal screen. Press the Ok button.

   

4. In the next window, select Show admin link:

   

5. The terminal will display the credentials for accessing the Hiddify administration panel:

   

6. In the Hiddify panel, select the Others country.

7. In the Domain field, enter a domain of the form hiddify{server id}.hostkey.in, for example, hiddify48543.hostkey.in.

   Note

   You can find your server ID and IP address in the control panel

8. In the Decoy Site field, you can specify a URL that will be displayed when accessing via the IP address or domain name from step 3.

9. Click the Submit button:

   

10. Installation takes approximately five minutes. Be sure to copy and save the administrator panel access link of the form https://48543.hostkey.in/oN6xxKuCjrLIm0Garp2SGtMgH/0d3603c3-a8a3-47ad-9ee1-6c56044aae14/admin/, which will be displayed at this stage.

    

    Attention

    If you haven't saved the administrator link, you can restore it.

11. Upon successful installation, you will receive a message:

    

    Attention

    To access the admin panel, use only the link saved in step 6. This is because after installation, a random site will be displayed at {Server ID}.hostkey.in or site with URL from step 4.
