Getting Started

This guide provides a complete walkthrough for deploying your first project on CubeOcean Cloud, from account creation to production deployment.

Table of Contents

1. Create an Account

To begin using CubeOcean Cloud, you must first register an account.

Steps:

  1. Navigate to the CubeOcean Cloud registration page.
  2. Provide a valid email address, username, and secure password.
  3. Verify your email address through the confirmation link sent to your inbox.

Notes:

  • Email verification is required before accessing provisioning features.
  • Use a strong password to ensure account security.
  • Consider enabling additional security measures if available (e.g., two-factor authentication).

2. Choose Project Category

After account activation, select the appropriate project category. This determines the base environment, available configurations, and optimization presets.

Available Categories:

  • Game Server Optimized for multiplayer servers, low latency networking, and persistent sessions.

  • Bot Suitable for automation services, messaging bots, and background workers.

  • Website Designed for web applications, including static and dynamic content delivery.

  • Database Pre-configured environments for database engines and storage services.

  • Generic Runtime (Language Environment) A flexible environment for custom applications using programming languages such as Node.js, Python, or others.

Recommendation:

Select the category that most closely matches your workload to benefit from preconfigured optimizations.

3. Customize Resources

Configure the compute and storage resources allocated to your project instance.

Configurable Parameters:

  • CPU Allocation Defines the number of processing cores available to your application.

  • Memory (RAM) Determines how much memory is available for runtime operations.

  • Storage Specifies disk capacity for application files, logs, and data.

  • Region (if available) Select a deployment region closest to your users to reduce latency.

Best Practices:

  • Start with moderate resources and scale as needed.
  • Monitor usage metrics after deployment to optimize cost and performance.
  • Avoid over-provisioning unless required for high-load scenarios.

4. Complete Payment

Once configuration is finalized, proceed with payment to activate your resources.

Steps:

  1. Review selected configuration and pricing details.
  2. Choose a preferred payment method.
  3. Confirm and complete the transaction.

Notes:

  • Services are provisioned only after successful payment.
  • Billing may be subscription-based or usage-based depending on your plan.

5. Access Dashboard

After activation, you can manage your project through the CubeOcean Cloud dashboard.

Dashboard Capabilities:

  • View active services and resource usage
  • Manage deployments and configurations
  • Monitor system health and logs
  • Access billing and account settings

6. Select Panel

Each deployed service is managed through a control panel that provides operational tools.

Common Panel Features:

  • File Manager Upload, edit, and organize project files.

  • Console / Terminal Access Execute commands directly within the runtime environment.

  • Database Manager Manage database instances, queries, and backups.

  • Settings Configuration Adjust environment variables, scaling options, and runtime parameters.

Recommendation:

Familiarize yourself with panel tools before deployment to streamline operations.

7. Deploy Your Project

Deploy your application to make it accessible and operational.

Deployment Methods:

  • File Upload Upload project files directly through the file manager.

  • Repository Integration Connect to a version control system and deploy from a repository.

Deployment Steps:

  1. Upload or link your project source.
  2. Configure environment variables and dependencies.
  3. Define start commands or entry points.
  4. Launch the service.

Post-Deployment:

  • Verify application status through logs and monitoring tools.
  • Perform testing to ensure correct functionality.
  • Configure scaling or additional services if required.

Conclusion

You have now completed the initial setup and deployment process on CubeOcean Cloud. Your project should be fully operational and manageable through the dashboard and control panel.

For advanced configurations, consider exploring scaling strategies, automated deployments, and monitoring integrations.
