WEBVTT 00:00.160 --> 00:00.920 Hi there! 00:00.960 --> 00:08.040 In this video I'm going to show you how to set up an A-10 on your very own private cloud server using 00:08.040 --> 00:08.640 Hostinger. 00:10.040 --> 00:16.280 Now again, if you are completely new to an A-10 and just exploring what it can do, I actually recommend 00:16.280 --> 00:18.840 starting out with the cloud hosted version. 00:19.400 --> 00:24.160 It's the fastest way to get up and running without touching any server setup. 00:24.200 --> 00:32.520 You can sign up using the link I added to the previous lesson, which gives you a 14 day free trial 00:32.760 --> 00:37.880 and no credit card is required to try it out so you can test it everything out. 00:38.160 --> 00:44.880 And if you decide to stick with it, you only pay when you are ready, so you can cancel any time and 00:44.880 --> 00:46.520 there is no long term commitment. 00:46.920 --> 00:53.320 Now, if you are ready to self-host an A-10 and really take advantage of everything it offers, and 00:53.320 --> 00:59.600 you don't need the A-10 team to manage it for you, you want to save money and have full control over 00:59.600 --> 01:04.960 your data and customize things the way you like, then this tutorial is for you. 01:05.280 --> 01:08.520 I'm going to show you the best setup I have found so far. 01:08.840 --> 01:11.000 That makes the whole process super easy. 01:11.240 --> 01:23.040 So I have pretty much tested all the popular hosting platforms such as Hetzner, Railway render, DigitalOcean, 01:23.320 --> 01:24.080 you name it. 01:24.360 --> 01:31.880 And honestly, I've been through them all and out of everything I've tried, Hostinger has been the 01:31.880 --> 01:34.000 easiest to work with by far. 01:35.040 --> 01:41.680 It's also crazy affordable for the resources you get, especially with the current promo they are running. 01:42.640 --> 01:48.360 And because I have partnered with them, I've got an extra 20% discount you can use on top of that, 01:49.200 --> 01:55.920 when you use the link I added to this lesson, you will get additional 20% discount on top of the main 01:55.920 --> 02:01.720 promo if you buy that 12 months or 24 month plan. 02:02.680 --> 02:04.960 It's super straightforward to set up. 02:05.200 --> 02:11.840 So in this video, I will walk you through every single step so you can follow along, even if it's 02:11.880 --> 02:14.200 your first time hosting something like this. 02:15.000 --> 02:21.920 Now by self-hosting N810, you unlock powerful features that just are not available on the cloud version. 02:22.400 --> 02:30.040 For example, on the cheapest N810 cloud plan, you are limited to five active workflows, and even 02:30.040 --> 02:37.040 if you upgrade to the Pro plan, that only bumps it up to 15 active workflows. 02:37.840 --> 02:43.640 But when you self-host with Hostinger, there is no limit, so you can run as many workflows as you 02:43.640 --> 02:45.480 want whenever you want. 02:45.520 --> 02:50.080 So if you are building anything beyond the basics, it really makes a huge difference. 02:50.600 --> 02:55.080 You will also get access to community nodes, which is a big deal. 02:55.440 --> 03:02.400 These are extra integrations built by the community that you simply can't use on the cloud version. 03:05.450 --> 03:12.130 So if you want to connect anytime with tools like 11 labs or other more advanced APIs, this is the 03:12.130 --> 03:16.170 way to go because it can simplify a lot of your integrations. 03:17.970 --> 03:23.490 And of course, you will have full access to custom code blocks with no restrictions. 03:23.490 --> 03:31.210 So that means you can write and run any JavaScript or Python logic you need without worrying about browser 03:31.210 --> 03:32.090 limitations. 03:32.970 --> 03:34.810 So let's dive right into the setup. 03:35.210 --> 03:39.410 First, click the hosting link I added in the resources. 03:40.090 --> 03:46.130 So to access the hosting options, scroll down to see the different plans available. 03:46.570 --> 03:58.490 I personally recommend going with the KVM two because this plan provides two virtual CPUs, eight GB 03:58.530 --> 04:02.090 of Ram, and 100 GB SSD storage. 04:02.610 --> 04:11.410 So right now, Hostinger offers a huge discount about 60% off on their 24 month plan, which is the 04:11.410 --> 04:13.090 most cost effective option. 04:13.930 --> 04:19.570 Plus, you will get extra 20% on top of that by using my link. 04:20.570 --> 04:22.410 So select the plan you want to go with. 04:22.970 --> 04:25.650 Hostinger is also super reliable. 04:25.690 --> 04:30.650 It's a well established company with data centers all over the world. 04:31.050 --> 04:35.650 So no matter where you are based, you will get solid performance and low latency. 04:36.370 --> 04:39.050 So I've actually been using Hostinger for a while. 04:39.330 --> 04:44.770 I host a bunch of websites with them, and I also bought quite a few domains through their platform. 04:45.330 --> 04:51.490 Now, when you have chosen the plan, you need to choose a server location closest to you. 04:51.490 --> 04:53.810 In my case is United Kingdom. 04:56.410 --> 04:59.890 For operating system will go with ubuntu. 05:01.010 --> 05:02.650 Ubuntu is based on Linux. 05:03.450 --> 05:04.410 And then confirm. 05:06.490 --> 05:06.890 And hit. 05:06.890 --> 05:07.490 Continue. 05:10.890 --> 05:12.810 Now we need to register your account. 05:13.250 --> 05:15.370 So provide an email address and password. 05:15.970 --> 05:19.370 Once you have paid, you will land on your hosting dashboard. 05:19.730 --> 05:25.890 So then click Get Started and you will be directed to initiate the setup process. 05:26.570 --> 05:31.210 So you will land on this page and then you will be asked to create a root password. 05:31.570 --> 05:35.850 So this password uh grants complete admin access to your server. 05:36.170 --> 05:38.210 So ensure it's strong and secure. 05:38.970 --> 05:41.770 So you can always change it later if you need to. 05:42.410 --> 05:44.450 Now this is your hostname. 05:44.450 --> 05:45.770 You can change it later. 05:46.210 --> 05:47.690 So now hit continue. 05:50.290 --> 05:51.450 And finish setup. 05:54.130 --> 06:00.530 So hosting will finalize your setup and configure your. 06:01.170 --> 06:03.370 It typically takes just a few minutes. 06:04.050 --> 06:05.450 So just hit finish setup. 06:06.490 --> 06:06.890 All right. 06:06.930 --> 06:07.170 Great. 06:07.170 --> 06:10.490 So now once the setup completes click on manage. 06:11.730 --> 06:12.930 From your hosting dashboard. 06:12.930 --> 06:19.330 And you will see your server details and confirmation that it's running smoothly. 06:19.770 --> 06:22.450 So I'm just going to choose for personal reasons. 06:24.250 --> 06:24.650 And. 06:26.690 --> 06:29.090 Website content site save. 06:30.370 --> 06:31.850 And as you can see it's running. 06:33.250 --> 06:34.970 Now we want to install N810. 06:35.010 --> 06:42.450 So simply go to Operating system under OS and panel click on Operating system. 06:44.490 --> 06:48.570 And here in the change OS section search for N810. 06:50.650 --> 06:54.690 Choose the first one and configure OS. 06:57.330 --> 06:58.010 Confirm. 06:58.050 --> 06:58.650 Next. 07:01.650 --> 07:03.690 And create new root password. 07:10.300 --> 07:10.860 Confirm. 07:13.260 --> 07:17.020 Now, once the hosting finish, setup our N810 instance. 07:17.820 --> 07:24.540 To access N810, click on Manage App which opens N810 in a new tab. 07:26.060 --> 07:31.700 Create your own account by entering an email and choosing a strong password. 07:31.700 --> 07:33.420 This only needs to be done once. 07:34.980 --> 07:38.140 Now once you create your account, this form will pop up. 07:38.140 --> 07:43.660 So provide some information or enter a random ones and get started. 07:44.300 --> 07:49.980 Now this is optional, but recommended to send me a free license during this initial setup. 07:49.980 --> 07:57.380 This will unlock useful additional features such as workflow history, advanced debugging and folders, 07:57.380 --> 07:58.020 etc.. 07:58.580 --> 08:03.980 So enter the email you want to receive your license key to and send me a free license key. 08:04.380 --> 08:04.980 Confirm. 08:07.620 --> 08:08.020 All right. 08:08.020 --> 08:08.420 Great. 08:08.860 --> 08:14.420 Now, with your private n810 server ready, you will immediately notice a new capabilities compared 08:14.420 --> 08:15.580 to the cloud version. 08:16.220 --> 08:17.900 And go to the settings. 08:19.500 --> 08:22.380 You can see that now you can install community nodes. 08:22.380 --> 08:27.660 And I will show you how to install some of the community nodes in the future lessons. 08:28.020 --> 08:31.860 Now go to your email and activate the license key. 08:33.660 --> 08:34.500 Simply sign in. 08:35.220 --> 08:35.700 All right. 08:35.740 --> 08:36.180 Awesome. 08:36.180 --> 08:41.660 So once you have activated everything, you should now see that you are running the community edition 08:41.660 --> 08:46.260 of N810, which means you are officially set up on your own private server. 08:46.660 --> 08:47.860 So congratulations. 08:48.300 --> 08:52.460 Now you've got your own N810 instance hosted on Hostinger. 08:53.700 --> 09:00.220 So one of the biggest advantages of doing this, like I mentioned earlier, is that you now get access 09:00.220 --> 09:01.460 to community nodes. 09:02.300 --> 09:04.660 These are custom nodes created by the community. 09:04.780 --> 09:08.820 Basically digital plugins that extend what N810 can do. 09:09.220 --> 09:16.140 And when you install one, you're actually pulling it straight from a GitHub repository built by other 09:16.140 --> 09:16.900 developers. 09:17.820 --> 09:22.900 And once it's in, you can use it in workflows just like any native node. 09:23.420 --> 09:29.580 So this extra nodes give you all kinds of advanced capabilities that simply are not available. 09:29.580 --> 09:31.940 If you are using the cloud version of N810. 09:33.180 --> 09:36.300 When you are self-hosting, you don't have limits. 09:36.300 --> 09:41.020 You can install whatever you want, just like you would on your local machine. 09:41.340 --> 09:46.540 So if you are someone who likes building powerful automations, this is a game changer. 09:46.780 --> 09:52.700 And another huge benefit is that there is no workflow limits on anything. 09:52.700 --> 09:53.300 Cloud. 09:53.340 --> 09:56.820 The entry level plan only gives you five active workflows. 09:57.140 --> 10:00.260 If you upgrade to the Pro plan, you get 15. 10:00.660 --> 10:07.180 But with a self-hosted setup like this, you can run as many workflows as you want With no extra cost 10:07.180 --> 10:07.860 per workflow. 10:09.700 --> 10:16.100 Now, sure, if you are a large company and don't want to deal with server maintenance or setup, having 10:16.100 --> 10:19.820 a ten host everything for you might make sense. 10:20.100 --> 10:28.300 But for most small to medium businesses or solo builders, self-hosting gives you way more flexibility 10:28.300 --> 10:29.820 and long term savings. 10:30.420 --> 10:38.540 Now, to switch to the dark mode, simply go to personal and scroll down and under team, switch to 10:38.540 --> 10:40.500 the Dark Team and hit save. 10:41.300 --> 10:46.260 Now there is another powerful tool you should know about so the browser based terminal. 10:46.580 --> 10:53.020 You can open it right from the hosting dashboard and it gives you full command line access to your server. 10:53.260 --> 10:58.140 So that means you can install additional packages, libraries or tools directly. 10:58.340 --> 11:03.100 It's super useful if you are doing anything more advanced or working with things like Docker. 11:06.110 --> 11:06.430 Yes. 11:06.430 --> 11:11.670 So Hostinger provides direct terminal access through the built in browser terminal, so you can use 11:11.670 --> 11:19.710 it to install extra packages and libraries, manage Docker containers, set up cron jobs, or run custom 11:19.710 --> 11:21.430 scripts directly on your server. 11:21.750 --> 11:29.150 So this gives you flexibility, uh, for running complex automations or local models. 11:29.830 --> 11:36.910 Now you can access your N810 instance by clicking on Manage App. 11:42.470 --> 11:46.870 Or by just going directly to your, uh, servers URL in the browser. 11:48.310 --> 11:54.150 Now you can change the hostname by scrolling down, and you can change the hostname right here. 11:57.550 --> 12:04.070 Now, Hostinger also makes it super easy to upgrade later if you need even more resources like more 12:04.070 --> 12:05.510 CPU or Ram. 12:05.510 --> 12:10.550 But honestly, with this plan, it will take a while before you will need it, so it's already more 12:10.550 --> 12:15.710 than enough for most use cases, even if you are running hundreds of workflows. 12:16.070 --> 12:22.950 Unless you are doing something super intense like large scale data processing or AI model training, 12:22.950 --> 12:25.790 you probably won't need to upgrade anytime soon. 12:26.350 --> 12:26.950 Alright, great. 12:26.950 --> 12:33.550 So now you can run unlimited active workflows so there is no cloud plan limitations. 12:33.830 --> 12:35.910 You can access to community nodes. 12:36.310 --> 12:39.550 Most importantly, you have full control over your data. 12:39.870 --> 12:45.910 So that's a big deal, especially if you are building automations, agents, or any kind of solutions 12:45.910 --> 12:46.870 for clients. 12:47.350 --> 12:53.550 You're not relying on a third party cloud to store sensitive info, so everything stays private and 12:53.550 --> 12:54.510 under your control. 12:54.910 --> 12:56.870 Ability to use advanced custom code. 12:57.350 --> 13:00.790 You have complete control over your servers performance and resources. 13:01.190 --> 13:03.870 Hostinger is also very reliable and secure. 13:04.790 --> 13:08.190 I hope you found this tutorial helpful and see you in the next one.
