A VM is a dedicated Linux machine that runs your apps. You can host one app on it, several apps on it, or use it as a general-purpose server. You pay per hour for the VM itself (from your credit balance). Apps don’t have a separate cost. They share the VM’s CPU/memory/storage.

​
Prerequisites

  • A verified Suji account.
  • Credit balance > €0, top up from Billing in the dashboard before creating a VM.

​
Create the VM

1

Open New Instance

Dashboard sidebar → Instances → New Instance.
2

Pick a name

Lower-case alphanumeric with hyphens, e.g. prod-eu, my-vm. The name is internal, public URLs come from the apps you later install on this VM, not from the VM itself.
3

Pick a size

Pricing is per hour, charged from your credit balance. Indicative monthly figures assume the VM runs 24/7.You can resize later (see Resize).
4

Pick a region

All regions are EU.
  • Falkenstein, Germany (default)
  • Nuremberg, Germany
  • Helsinki, Finland
The region is fixed for the life of the VM. To change it, snapshot and restore into a new VM.
5

Create

Click Create Instance. Provisioning takes 60–120 seconds. Status moves from provisioning → running.

​
What you get

When the VM lands on running:
  • A public IPv4 and IPv6 (Network tab in the instance detail page).
  • A Cloudflare Tunnel wired up, apps installed later get *.suji.fr HTTPS URLs automatically.
  • SSH access as the root user (find the key in Settings → SSH Keys before creation).
  • A web terminal in the dashboard if you don’t want to SSH.
  • A firewall with sensible defaults (SSH open, everything else closed).
