INSTALL-cloud.md slightly disappointing expectations?

Installation

The introductory paragraph here says “… with zero knowledge of Rails or Linux shell” then goes on to say not only, “Connect to your server via its IP address using SSH” but then gives shell commands to clone the docker image and other things. Someone with zero knowledge of the Linux shell wouldn’t even know where to type those commands, let alone what connecting with a secure shell entails.

It’s a minor point. :slight_smile:

Yeah. The implication is that the instructions work even if you don’t have experience with the shell not that you won’t need to experience the shell.

Digital Ocean now has a console that will let you connect without using SSH.

I have a dashboard that will let you install without typing those commands yourself, but i’ts (mostly) not free.
