Installing Sympl on Mythic Beasts

Mythic Beasts provide support to Sympl, and their virtual servers can have Sympl installed for you automatically.

1. Once you have your server provisioned, browse to the Mythic Beasts control panel.
2. Click Install OS.
3. For the Operating system, select Sympl
4. For the Hostname, provide a hostname for the server. This can be left as the default if wanted.
5. In the SSH Keys box, paste your SSH public key. This will be used to log in as both the root user, and the sympl user once the server is imaged.
6. Click Install.
7. The installation will now happen. This can take a few minutes, and will seem to stall at 97% as Sympl is installed, but don't worry!
8. Once Sympl has been installed, SSH to the server as the root user, and set a password for the sympl user so that sudo can be used, with passwd sympl.
9. Check the Getting Started page for your next step!
