Prepare your VPS

Server
Choose Ubuntu 24.04 and Latest. The template suggests 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, and 50 GB disk. Choose 8 GB for heavier workloads.
SSH access
Use SSH to read the installation README and forward local port 20128. The app binds to 127.0.0.1 by default.
Provider credentials
Complete dashboard login and add provider accounts or API keys. Customer accounts, provider quotas, and usage charges are separate.
Persistent data
Application data persists on your VPS. Include SQLite data, keys, configuration, and root-only environment files in your backups.

Set up 9Router

  1. In the LightNode console, select 9Router, Latest, and Ubuntu 24.04. Choose at least 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, and 50 GB disk.
  2. Await first-boot installation. Check the status and instructions available for your instance.
  3. Connect through SSH, read the installation README, and follow its tunnel instructions to access local port 20128.
  4. Log in, add provider connections, and create client API keys. Configure fallback rules before connecting your coding tool.

9Router questions

  • 9Router hosts the proxy and dashboard. Your selected providers generate responses. Their account terms, quotas, and API or subscription charges still apply.
  • Initial access uses an SSH tunnel to local port 20128. Public access requires your own HTTPS and protected authentication configuration.
  • Save persistent application data and root-only environment and credential files. Keep signing secrets stable across restarts. Review the official documentation before a manual upgrade.
