### Add your server ### Add your server
Now you can connect `abra` with your server. You should have a working SSH configuration before you can do this (e.g. a matching `Host <server-domain>` entry in `~/.ssh/config` with the correct SSH connection details). That means you can run `ssh <server-domain>` on your command-line and everything Works :tm:. Now you can connect `abra` with your server. You must have a working SSH configuration for your server before you can proceed. That means you can run `ssh <server-domain>` on your command-line and everything Works :tm:. See the [`abra` SSH troubleshooting](/abra/trouble/#ssh-connection-issues) for a working SSH configuration example.

Under the hood `abra` uses plain 'ol `ssh` and aims to make use of your
existing SSH configurations in `~/.ssh/config` and interfaces with your
running `ssh-agent` for password protected secret key files.
Running `server add` with `-d` or `--debug` should help you debug what is
going on under the hood. `ssh -v ...` should also help. If you're running
into SSH connection issues with `abra` take a moment to read [this
troubleshooting entry](/abra/trouble/#ssh-connection-issues).
```bash ```bash
ssh <server-domain> # make sure it works ssh <server-domain> # make sure it works
abra server add <server-domain> abra server add <server-domain>
``` ```
It is important to note that `<domain>` here is a publicy accessible domain name which points to your server IP address. `abra` does make sure this is the case and this is done to avoid issues with HTTPS certificate rate limiting.

??? warning "Can I use arbitrary server names?"
Yes, this is possible. You need to pass `-D` to `server add` and ensure
that your `Host ...` entry in your SSH configuration includes the name.
So, for example:
Host example.com example
...
And then:
abra server add -D example
You will now have a new `~/.abra/` folder on your local file system which stores all the configuration of your Co-op Cloud instance. You will now have a new `~/.abra/` folder on your local file system which stores all the configuration of your Co-op Cloud instance.
