Paperclip is a powerful AI-powered application that you can easily deploy using ORIV’s fully managed hosting platform. With ORIV, you don’t need to worry about complex server configurations or manual setup processes. Whether you’re a developer or a non-technical user, ORIV simplifies the entire deployment by handling server provisioning, application installation, and configuration in just a few steps. In this guide, we will walk you through the complete process of deploying Paperclip on ORIV, from creating a managed server to configuring your AI provider credentials and managing your application through the ORIV dashboard.

​
Step 1: Create an ORIV Managed Server

First, visit this link to start creating an ORIV managed server. Go to the ‘Server Name’ field and enter your server name. Then add a tag for the server. This step is optional and not mandatory. Note: If you haven’t signed up yet, you will be prompted to create an account, choose a plan based on your preferences, and then proceed to payment.

Next, go to the ‘Server Type’ option. Here, ORIV provides two types of servers. One is ‘General’, and the other one is ‘Premium’.
  • General servers are cost-effective servers powered by Intel CPUs and regular SSDs.
  • On the other hand, premium servers are blazing fast with quicker 3 GHz+ Intel Xeon CPUs, faster memory, and NVMe storage.
After that, go to the ‘Server Size’ option and choose your preferred server size. Please note that deploying a Paperclip instance requires a minimum 4 GB RAM server.
