You can install the CloudRay Agent on Raspberry Pi to securely connect and manage your device from the CloudRay dashboard without the need for manual SSH access.

System Requirements

The CloudRay Agent is tested and compatible with:

  • Raspberry Pi 3 or newer
  • Raspberry Pi OS (formerly Raspbian) Buster or newer
  • 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS

TIP

Before you begin, ensure you have a CloudRay account and copy your REG_CODE from your project dashboard.

Installation Instructions

  1. Open Terminal on your Raspberry Pi

  2. Run the following commands (replace <REG_CODE> with your actual code):

curl -sSfL https://cloudray.io/install.sh | sudo bash
sudo cloudray-agent install-service --reg-code <REG_CODE>
  1. Visit the CloudRay dashboard, navigate to Machines, and confirm your Linux machine appears as connected.

Alternative: Connect via SSH

If you are unable to install the Agent on your server, CloudRay also supports management over a secure SSH connection. However, some advanced features may not be available via SSH.
