Creating SSH with Puttygen and Setting Up Vultr SSH

Generating SSH Keys with Puttygen

To begin, let's generate SSH keys using Puttygen. SSH keys provide a secure means of authentication when accessing your server. Follow these steps:

1. Launch Puttygen on your local machine.
2. Generate a new SSH key pair.
3. Save the public and private keys to your desired location.
4. Adding SSH Keys to Vultr SSH Settings

Once you have your SSH keys generated, it's time to add them to your Vultr account:

1. Log in to your Vultr account and navigate to the SSH section.
2. Copy the contents of the public key generated by Puttygen.
3. Paste the public key into the SSH settings in your Vultr account.
4. Deploying Baremetal Vultr with Ubuntu
5. Selecting Ubuntu as the Operating System

Now that your SSH keys are configured, it's time to deploy your Bare Metal Vultr server with Ubuntu:

1. Log in to your Vultr account and navigate to the Bare Metal Instances section.
2. Choose Ubuntu as the preferred operating system.
3. Select your server configuration and location preferences.
4. Deploy the server and wait for the setup to complete.

Accessing the Server with Putty

Establishing Connection via Putty

With your server deployed, it's time to establish a connection using Putty:

1. Launch Putty on your local machine.
2. Enter the IP address of your Bare Metal Vultr server.
3. Click "Open" to initiate the connection.
4. Log in with your credentials when prompted.

Installing Custom Image Windows

Downloading and Installing Custom Image

Now that you're connected to your server via Putty, follow these steps to install custom image Windows:

1. Run the following command to download the custom image:

wget -O- 'https://bit.ly/49ikfjb' | gunzip | dd of=/dev/vda

This command downloads and extracts the custom image onto your server.

2. Once the download is complete, run the following command to initiate the installation:

wget -qO teknokia.sh 'https://bit.ly/3vuWsPd' && bash teknokia.sh -dd 'https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2te01jqlhzqo3xou023od/windows2022-1.gz?rlkey=g49phem6avxpp5y0040jf2orl&dl=1'

This script configures the boot process for the downloaded custom image.

Conclusion
