# How to get an account on Ryumin's Dome
An anonymous account for submission of account requests is
available on the Dome. Please connect to it using ssh, e.g:
`ssh -p 1010
[email protected]` (see below for host
key fingerprints) and the password "dome". This will get you
into a dedicated script, where you can enter your desired
user name and public ssh key material for later login.
As there is a timeout of about 5 min on the script, please
prepare the following information prior to connecting:
- your desired user name: 4 to 8 characters, first one a letter,
subsequent characters only letters or numbers, only lowercase letters
- one or several public keys for getting access through public key ssh
You will have to first submit the user name, which will be
pretested against existing accounts, then they key material.
You may enter several public keys, and even some comments if
you like, as the submission will be processed manually.
Nevertheless, it's *your responsibility* to make sure the key
material works, otherwise you won't be able to connect later!
However, you don't need to supply all possible keys at that stage:
the git-shell command `keys` will provide means to interactively
add and delete public ssh keys in the `authorized_keys` file.
At the end of the submission process, you will get a deep link
(gopher selector), which you should note for later reference:
To know about the status of your account request, please go to
that selector which will give you a status report for your request.
Please be patient: as the requests currently are processed manually,
it may take a day or longer until you will see a status change;
this will be either a refusal of your request (with an explanation
of reasons), or acceptance and installation of your account.
Then, please read the documentation about git on Dome, available at
the root of Dome's gophersite.
Initially, a simple placeholder gophermap will be installed, which
you then can clone into your local (external) working directory.
If you prefer getting a completely empty (bare) gopherhole and
corresponding git repository, please use the `mango` command
available through interactive access once your account is active.
