Roomote Cloud runs an isolated Roomote deployment for you. Roomote manages
hosting, networking, task sandboxes, and upgrades. You use the web dashboard to
choose models, connect your repositories, and start work.
By the end of this guide and Run your first task, you will
have a working deployment and a completed task whose result you can review.
Before you start
For your first repository task, have:
- a repository and an account with permission to authorize Roomote’s access
- an inference option: managed Roomote inference when offered during setup,
or a supported subscription or inference provider API key
- any credentials or setup instructions your repository needs to build and
run, if they are not already documented in the repository
You can use a browser on Windows, macOS, or Linux. Cloud provides the server
and sandbox infrastructure, so there is no local installation or domain setup
to complete.
Start in the web dashboard. Slack and other communications providers are
optional and can be connected after your first task.
1. Create your Cloud deployment
Sign up for Roomote Cloud, or
sign in to the Cloud portal if you already have
an account. Follow the portal’s deployment setup, then open your Roomote
deployment when it is ready.
The Cloud portal manages hosting. Your Roomote deployment is where you
complete product setup, configure providers, and run tasks. Keep its URL so
you can return directly to the dashboard.
2. Complete setup and run a task
Continue with Run your first task. Start at the account setup
step, or continue from your current step if it is already complete.
The guide helps you create the administrator account, choose inference,
connect a repository, and run a small task. For Cloud:
- Inference: choose the Roomote provider when offered, or connect your own
provider. Managed inference has a credit limit; see
Managed Roomote inference for how it
works and how to add your own provider.
- Sandboxes: keep the sandbox provider provisioned for your Cloud
deployment. You do not need to create a separate sandbox provider account
to run your first task.
- Repository access: authorize the repositories you want Roomote to work
on. Cloud hosting does not grant Roomote access to them automatically.
You have completed the getting-started path when Roomote can access your
repository, run work in a sandbox, and return a result you can inspect in the
dashboard. The first-task guide includes those checks and help for each step.
After your first task
Connect Slack or another communications provider to start
and follow work from chat, or invite your team to use
the dashboard. Add an environment when you want reusable
repository setup, secrets, and instructions for future tasks.
