Everything you need to install, configure, and manage your infrastructure.

Quick Start

Get up and running in under 5 minutes. Install the agent on any Linux server and it connects back to RackPlane automatically.

curl -sSL https://get.rackplane.io/install.sh | sudo bash

1. Sign up — Create an account at rackplane.io/register.

2. Add a node — Go to Nodes in the dashboard and click "Add Node". Copy the install command.

3. Run the command — SSH into your server and paste the command. The agent installs as a systemd service and connects within seconds.

4. Deploy — Create services, VMs, or game servers from the dashboard. The agent handles the rest.
