Quick Start — StreamGPU
Quick Start
A guide for new users who want to quickly create a GPU container.
1) Log in
Access the dashboard and log in. Authentication is required to create containers and check pricing/availability.
2) Open the Container Creation Page
Open the Create Container page in the dashboard. This page fetches and displays available OS images, GPU availability, and pricing information from the backend.
3) Select OS Image
Select an OS image from the dropdown. By default, the container name is auto-generated (can be modified if desired).
4) Select GPU
Select an available GPU model. Availability indicators reflect real-time data and backend information.
5) Resources and Storage
- Preset: Choose from Entry / Midrange / High-End, or manually set CPU/Memory.
- Select disk capacity. When passing a URL preset, minimum/maximum values (e.g., minimum 12GB) can be applied.
- Storage costs are calculated by summing the per-GB rate and the selected capacity.
6) Review and Create
After reviewing the estimated charges (hourly/monthly), clicking Create initiates the container creation process on the backend. Once the creation request is received, a job ID is issued, and you can navigate to the dashboard to monitor progress.
7) Handling Insufficient Balance
If your balance is insufficient, the creation request may be rejected. The UI will display the minimum required top-up amount and redirect you to the payment page.
8) Drafts and Multi-Tab
Forms in progress are automatically saved as drafts and synchronized across tabs. Previously saved drafts can be restored.
