Cloud Manager

The Cloud Manager lets you connect your cloud provider accounts and manage all your servers from one place. Instead of logging into separate dashboards for each provider, you can view, create, and manage instances directly from PMTAcore.

Supported Cloud Providers

• Linode / Akamai
• DigitalOcean
• Vultr
• AWS (Amazon Web Services)
• More Coming soon...

Connecting a Cloud Account

1. Go to Cloud Manager from the sidebar.
2. Click Add Account.
3. Select your cloud provider from the dropdown.
4. Enter your API token. You can generate this from your cloud provider's dashboard under API or Personal Access Tokens.
5. Give the account a label (e.g., "My Linode Production") and click Save.

Managing Servers

Once connected, all your instances from that provider will appear in the server list. For each server you can:

• View details – IP address, region, OS, status
• Power actions – Power on, power off, reboot
• Delete – Remove the instance (this is permanent)
• Install PMTA – Jump directly to PowerMTA installation for that server
• Open SSH – Launch a terminal session to the server

Creating a New Server

1. Click Create Instance in the Cloud Manager.
2. Select the cloud provider and account.
3. Choose a region, plan (server size), and operating system. We recommend AlmaLinux 8 or 9 for PowerMTA.
4. Click Create. The server will be provisioned and appear in your list once ready.

Multiple Accounts

You can add multiple API tokens for the same provider or different providers. All servers from all connected accounts appear in a unified list so you can manage everything from one view.
