# Azure VPS setup notes ### Eligibility * First you need to submit paperwork to be approved as I have a 501c3: https://nonprofit.microsoft.com/en-us/getting-started. Approval can take 1 day or 3-4 weeks - I've seen both multiple times. * Once approved, go lot more to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/nonprofits/azure to claim credits (note: disable ad blockers) put here, but for now: ### VPS provisioning * You need a Sponsorship->Subscription->Resource Group->Virtual Machine. * Check that you have credits in your sponsored account: https://www.microsoftazuresponsorships.com/Balance * Add a subscription of type "Microsoft Azure Sponsorship" from the Azure portal. You may have to select "Show other subscription types" to see it. * **Note**: Even sponsored subscriptions require a credit card, make sure you have one available. * Create a resource group. (Needs more docs) * Add a virtual machine. (Needs more docs) * Add endpoints for ports 22, 80, 443, and 5665. ### Swap https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4010058/how-to-add-a-swap-file-in-linux-azure-virtual-machines
