CID

Server configuration

The fields behind a server, and what "Test connection" checks.

See Add an SSH server for how to create one. This page is the field reference.

FieldDefaultWhere it's used
Name—Display only, must be unique within the project.
Host—Hostname or IP CID connects to over SSH.
Port22SSH port.
UsernamerootSSH login user.
SSH keyNo keyWhich stored key to authenticate with. See SSH keys.
Remote deploy path—Local-only, per-machine. Working directory every step's command runs from.

Test opens a real SSH connection using the server's configured key (through the project's proxy, if enabled — see Proxy configuration), runs echo ok, and updates the server's status to Connected or Disconnected based on the result. Use it any time you change host, port, username, or key, to confirm things still work before running a real workflow.
