Web BYOS Quick Start Guide

The current Web flow installs a supported AI-agent runtime on a server you provide. It does not create or sell that BYOS server.

Prerequisites

• AgentAura installed on a supported device (Installation Guide)
• A compatible public Linux server created with your hosting provider
• Administrator SSH access to that server
• Credentials for an AI model provider supported by the current runtime
• A payment method accepted by your checkout channel only if you choose to upgrade to Pro

You choose the host, server size and region directly with the hosting provider. You are responsible for the server bill, SSH access, firewall, operating-system updates, storage, backups and lifecycle.

Step 1: Review Plans

Step 2: Sign In

Open AgentAura and use one of the sign-in methods currently offered by the client. Complete any verification shown before starting an installation.

Step 3: Purchase Pro if Needed

1. Select monthly or annual Pro only if you need the entitlement shown in the current client
2. Review the final price and included features in the checkout or purchase sheet
3. Confirm through that purchase channel

Buying AgentAura Pro does not buy, create or cancel a hosting server.

Step 4: Add Your Existing Server

1. Create the server with your chosen host before opening the install flow
2. Enter the public IP address or hostname requested by AgentAura
3. Provide administrator SSH credentials through the supported credential flow
4. Add credentials for your selected AI model provider when requested
5. Let AgentAura validate the server connection and prerequisites

The current Web flow does not accept a cloud-provider API token or let AgentAura select a hosting plan or region.

Step 5: Install the Runtime

Follow the guided installation and health checks. AgentAura shows the runtime's progress, but completion time depends on the server, package sources and network and is not guaranteed.

If installation fails, the host remains in your hosting account and may continue incurring charges.

Step 6: Connect to Your Agent

Once the runtime reports ready:

1. Open the agent from a supported AgentAura client
2. Confirm that the configured model provider works
3. Review tool, storage and integration permissions before enabling them
4. Test any backup and restore process you configure

Managing the Runtime and Server

In Web BYOS, AgentAura can expose supported controls for the installed runtime. It does not create, stop, restart, cancel or destroy the host server.

• Removing an agent in AgentAura does not cancel or erase the server
• Manage server power, billing, firewall, operating system and deletion with your hosting provider
• Your host, AI provider, storage provider and enabled integrations may process the data sent to them under their own terms

If you instead use a native managed provider-account path, it may offer controls for resources it created. Read the confirmation and verify the resource and billing state in the cloud provider's console after any deletion.
