What this page can and cannot see

Your key is typed at the setup wizard's own hidden prompt, inside the machine in this tab. This page never reads it.

Requests to your provider are encrypted inside that machine, so the relay that carries them holds ciphertext. It can see which provider you are contacting and how many bytes moved, and it cannot read your key, your prompts or the replies. That does not depend on trusting the relay: it is what terminating TLS inside the guest means.

This site is served by a hosting provider that may receive its own error reports about failed requests. Those carry no page content and nothing from the machine in this tab.

This page shows the commit it was built from, and you can rebuild it. Run it yourself: the source and the deployment runbook are linked below.

Questions

Pasting does nothing, or nothing appears when I paste

Paste with Ctrl-Shift-V. Plain Ctrl-V is not a paste in a terminal; it sends a control byte. And at the key prompt the terminal shows nothing at all while you type or paste: no characters, no dots. That is correct, not a hang. Press Enter.

How do I get out of a question?

Ctrl-C leaves the wizard at a shell prompt, where temur init starts it again. At the hidden key prompt Ctrl-C is ignored on purpose, because echo is off there and it could leave you at a terminal that has stopped showing what you type. Press Enter on the empty line instead.

How do I change the key, or use a different provider?

temur init --force. It rewrites the configuration but will not overwrite a key file that already has a key in it: it says the file was left untouched and never asks. Delete the file first, for example rm /root/.secrets/temur-anthropic-key. Each provider keeps its own file, so switching provider needs no deletion.

Why not template 1, the local one?

It points temur at a model server on the same machine, which is how you would run it against llama.cpp on a real computer. In this tab nothing is listening there. Pick a hosted provider.

What happens when I close the tab?

The whole computer stops existing, with its files, the configuration and your key. Nothing is written to your disk, so you type the key again next time.
