# Introduction

> Dedicated Linux VMs in EU data centers, billed by the hour. Use them as plain VPSes or one-click-deploy open-source apps from a curated marketplace.

## What is Suji?

Suji is dedicated Linux VMs in EU data centers, billed by the hour. There are two ways to use one:

* **As a server you control.** SSH in, run whatever you want. The dashboard still gives you a web terminal, file editor, live logs, a firewall manager, and on-demand snapshots — no Linux-ops chores needed unless you want them.
* **As a one-click app target.** Pick an app from the marketplace (OpenClaw, n8n, Ghost, NocoDB, Plausible, Wiki.js, Minecraft, …), fill in its config (API keys, tokens, options), click **Deploy**. Within minutes the app is live at `https://<name>.suji.fr` with a real HTTPS certificate.

Both at once works — run a marketplace app and your own services side by side on the same VM.

Every customer runs on their own dedicated VM. No shared runtime, no shared filesystem, no noisy neighbors.

## Key features

  <Card title="Dedicated VMs" icon="shield-halved">
    Your VM is yours alone — no shared kernel, no shared filesystem, no shared network with other customers.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Full ops in the dashboard" icon="screwdriver-wrench">
    Web terminal, file editor, live logs, firewall rules, snapshots, resize — all from the browser. SSH still works if you prefer it.
  </Card>

  <Card title="One-click app marketplace" icon="grid">
    Curated catalog of open-source apps with vetted compose files. Install, upgrade, uninstall from the dashboard. Skip it entirely if you don't need it.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Built-in HTTPS ingress" icon="globe">
    Apps you mark "exposed" get a `*.suji.fr` URL with a real certificate. No DNS to manage, no certs to renew.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Hourly billing, no surprises" icon="credit-card">
    Pay per VM per hour from prepaid credits. Stop or destroy your VM any time.
  </Card>

  <Card title="EU infrastructure" icon="earth-europe">
    All VMs run in EU data centers (Falkenstein, Nuremberg, Helsinki). Data stays in the EU.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an account">
    Sign up at [app.suji.fr/register](https://app.suji.fr/register), verify your email, and add credit from the Billing page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Spin up a VM">
    Pick a name, a size (Small / Medium / Large / XL) and a region. The VM is online in 1–2 minutes, with SSH access and a public IP.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use it">
    Either install a marketplace app (one-click form-driven deploy) or treat it as a plain Linux box (SSH in, do whatever). You can also do both on the same VM.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Manage from one place">
    Logs, terminal, file editor, firewall, snapshots, resize — everything's in the dashboard. Top up credits when low; we email before you hit zero.
  </Step>
</Steps>
