SFTP/SSH question

Hello everyone, is there a way to telnet/ssh to a deployed instance? i'm trying to set up FoundryVTT but it doesn't seem to have a user-pass for SSH to it, and the attached storage also seemingly doesn't have an option to connect to it via SFTP to upload files. Is there any quick solution to this?
Solution:
There's no option to SSH into a container, they are empherial containers so anything done in SSH would not be saved. as for seeding a volume with data, deploy the filebrowser template with the use volume root variable set to 1, upload your data, and then unmount its volume and mount it to your desired service...

okay, and do i just use any sftp client to connect to the file browser service then? Connecting to "34.32.135.56" port "22" - doesn't proceed, using username and pwd provided by the instance

Brody

drag and drop? I'm not sure tbh I haven't used filebrowser to upload bulk files, only to edit files on a volume I'll test it and get back to you if you don't figure it out before me

what's the structure of the files / folders you want to upload looking like?
Daniel Z

module_name/ ./assets/ ./lang/ ./packs/ ./scripts/ ./styles/ ./templates/ ./module.json its FoundryVTT modules, they're usually quite large in size like 500mb - 4gb

what's the total size of everything you want to upload?
Daniel Z
Daniel ZOP7mo ago
preferrably i want to be able to upload more, but as of right now its 1.8gb
Brody

okay cool, keep in mind that the hobby plan only allows for 5gb volumes

drag and droping a folder worked for me kept the structure in tact and everything

are you on mac or windows/linux? i'm on mac and it doesn accept any drag and drop attempts
Brody

windows you did deploy the correct template right? if you cant drag and drop, you can still click the upload icon in the top right
Daniel Z
Daniel ZOP7mo ago
