Nest is a free Linux hosting service provided by [https://hackclub.app Hack Club] for teenagers to host their apps and projects for free.

== Getting Started ==
To get started, check out the [[Quickstart]] guide, which walks you through creating an account, verifying that you are a student, logging in, and basic usage of Nest. '''Please read the [[Acceptable Use Policy]] and [[Limitations]] page before using Nest.''' You can also review our [[Nest Wiki:Privacy policy|privacy policy]] and [[Your data on nest|what happens to your data on Nest]]. There's also a list of [[Frequently Asked Questions]] that you really should read.

If you need further help, external resources are listed in each of the guides mentioned above, and you can always get help from fellow birds in [https://app.slack.com/client/E09V59WQY1E/C097AL5AUH0 #nest-help] on the [https://hackclub.com/slack Hack Club Slack].

Quickstart

Admin: Revised Quickstart to include SSH key creation.

Before you can access your Nest container you need to apply for a container at https://dashboard.hackclub.app.

You'll be asked to pick a username, paste your public SSH key, and tell us what you'll use Nest for. If you're confused, here's how to create/find your SSH public key:

1. You might have already generated an SSH key! If you're unsure, use this command to check:<syntaxhighlight>
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
</syntaxhighlight>If it returns a long string starting with <code>ssh-ed25519</code>, then you already have one! Just copy that entire thing!

2. If that command brought back "No such file or directory" or a similar issue, it means you don't have an SSH key. You can generate one now by running this command:<syntaxhighlight>
ssh-keygen -t ed25519
</syntaxhighlight>You can press enter during the prompts to use the default settings.

3. Now you'll need to copy that string of text. Run this command to show it:<syntaxhighlight>
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
</syntaxhighlight>It should return a long string starting with <code>ssh-ed25519</code>, just copy that entire thing!
----

Once your application has been accepted you can SSH into your new container using this command:<syntaxhighlight>ssh username@hackclub.app</syntaxhighlight>(Replace username with the username you applied with!)

Congratulations! You're now inside your new Nest container! Now you can start hosting your projects.

You can also manage your container at https://dashboard.hackclub.app!
