Researched, not yet run live. Built from the provider’s official pages (linked below). A person hasn’t walked this flow end to end yet, so check each step against the source.

Steps

Steps marked “human step” are ones only you can do: verapli never signs in, submits, pays or accepts terms for you.

  1. Sign up for ClickHouse Cloud

    Run clickhousectl cloud auth signup (or use the website); the person completes sign-up in the browser.

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You press submit
  2. Create a service

    Create a service, choosing cloud provider and region near the app.

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You press submit
    • After: Sign up for ClickHouse Cloud
  3. Save the default user's password

    The password for the default user is shown only once at creation; verapli captures it with the HTTPS host (port 8443).

    • verapli co-pilot
    • After: Create a service

    verapli captures CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD here by plain code: encrypted in your browser, never shown to AI.

    Where: https://console.clickhouse.cloud/

  4. Create an API key (optional)optional

    For the Cloud API, open API Keys, New API Key, set name, the narrowest role, an expiration and optional IP allow list, and generate. Key ID and Key secret are shown once.
