Launch Your Instance

Step 1: Select Recipe

1. Sign in to the Dispersed Console
2. Go to Run in the sidebar
3. In the Recipe section, select a Job Recipe or customize your own job recipe
4. In the GPU section, choose Any compatible GPU

​Step 2: Fill in Inputs

In the configuration modal, provide the required inputs:

Input	Description	Example
SSH Public Key	Your SSH public key	ssh-ed25519 AAAA... user@host
Allowed IPs	IP addresses allowed to connect	0.0.0.0/0 (any)

​Step 3: Submit

Click Submit Job. You’ll be redirected to the Job Detail page.

Step 4: Wait for Node Assignment

After submitting, your Job goes through these stages:

Status	Description
PENDING	The network is searching for a Node with your specs
ASSIGNED	A Node has been selected and is preparing your container
RUNNING	Your container is running and ready for connections

Once a Node is assigned, a Job Run is automatically created. This may take a few seconds to a few minutes depending on network availability.

Step 5: Get Connection

When your Job shows RUNNING:

1. On the Job Detail page, find the Job Runs section
2. Click on the Job Run to open the Job Run Detail page
3. The connection information appears under Node URLs

You’ll see the hostname and port needed for SSH access.

Step 6: Connect

Use the connection info from the Job Run Detail page:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/dispersed -p <port> duser@<hostname>

The Job Run page updates automatically as status changes. Refresh if needed to see the latest connection information.
