Frequently Asked Questions
🚀 Getting Started
Q: What should I do first after receiving the installation email?
A: We recommend the following order:
- Click the Admin Panel link in the email to confirm you can log in
- In Admin Panel, click Rose’s Dashboard to test the conversation feature
- Follow the “Quick Start” guide to connect your preferred messaging app (Telegram/WhatsApp/LINE)
Q: What’s the difference between the 3 AI agents? Which should I use?
A:
| Partner | Permissions | Best For | Not Suitable For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rose | Host Root | System management, deployment, automation | Daily conversation (permissions too high) |
| Ada | Container only | Customer service, marketing, project management | Modifying host settings |
| Vi | Container only | Quick queries, testing, backup | Important business processes |
Recommendation: Use Ada for daily conversations, Rose when you need to modify the system.
Q: Can I use it on mobile?
A: Yes! After connecting through messaging apps, you can:
- Chat with AI partners on Telegram/WhatsApp/LINE
- Log into Admin Panel with your mobile browser
- Manage your mVPS anytime, anywhere
💬 Messaging Connections
Q: Which is better: Telegram, WhatsApp, or LINE?
A: Each has pros and cons:
| Platform | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Telegram | Feature-rich, mature bot ecosystem, free | May need VPN in some countries |
| Most users, high business acceptance | Business API costs, stricter review | |
| LINE | Dominant in Taiwan/Japan, great stickers | More basic bot features |
Recommendation: Choose based on your customer base. Taiwan market → LINE, international → WhatsApp, technical users → Telegram.
Q: Can one AI partner connect to multiple platforms simultaneously?
A: Yes! You can:
- Connect the same AI partner to Telegram + WhatsApp
- Connect different AI partners to different platforms (e.g., Rose on Telegram, Ada on LINE)
- Manage all connections in Admin Panel
Q: What if messaging connection fails?
A: Check the following:
- Confirm token is correct: Did you copy any extra spaces?
- Check network: Can your phone/computer access the internet normally?
- Re-pair: Delete existing connection and rescan QR Code
- Check logs: View Gateway connection status in Admin Panel
If it still doesn’t work, please contact support for assistance.
🎛️ Admin Panel
Q: When should I restart the server?
A: We recommend restarting in these situations:
- System resource usage consistently high (memory > 90%)
- A container is completely unresponsive
- System updates requiring restart have been installed
- Unexplained abnormal behavior
Note: Restart will briefly interrupt service (about 1-2 minutes).
Q: What does Export Data back up?
A: Export Data backs up:
- All AI partner configuration files (SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, etc.)
- Conversation history
- Custom tool settings
- System configuration
Does not back up:
- Large files (recommend separate backup)
- Container code itself (can be redeployed)
Q: How do I update AI partners to the latest version?
A: In Admin Panel:
- Find the container to update (Rose/Ada/Vi)
- Click the “Update” button
- Wait for update to complete (about 1-3 minutes)
- Container will auto-restart after update
Recommendation: Backup before updating, just in case.
🔐 Security
Q: Is my data secure?
A: RealVco employs multiple security measures:
- ✅ No public ports: Cloudflare Tunnel connection, VPS doesn’t need to open any inbound ports
- ✅ Encrypted transmission: All traffic uses HTTPS/TLS encryption
- ✅ Token authentication: Magic Token is short-term and becomes invalid after use
- ✅ Permission separation: 3 AI partners have separated permissions, reducing risk
Q: What if my Magic Link is leaked?
A:
- Immediately check login records: See if there are any abnormal logins
- Redeploy: Will generate a brand new Magic Token, old one becomes invalid immediately
- Contact support: Inform them of the situation, support will assist with investigation
Q: Can AI partners see my data?
A: What AI partners “see”:
- ✅ Can see: Files you actively give them, your conversation content
- ❌ Cannot see: Other containers’ data, system passwords (unless you tell them)
Important: Don’t let AI partners handle sensitive information like credit card numbers or bank passwords.
💰 Billing & Account
Q: Is there a traffic limit?
A: The mVPS plan includes:
- Unlimited network traffic (via Cloudflare)
- Fair use policy (no mining, attacking others, etc.)
Q: Can I upgrade or downgrade plans?
A: Yes! Contact support to adjust:
- Upgrade: Available anytime, prorated billing
- Downgrade: Takes effect next billing cycle
Q: How do I cancel my subscription?
A: Please contact support to process cancellation. Note: Data will be retained for 30 days after cancellation, then permanently deleted.
🔧 Technical Questions
Q: Can I SSH directly into the VPS?
A: Yes, but you need to set it up first:
- Set up SSH Key in Admin Panel’s Host Terminal
- Or use password login (needs to be enabled first)
By default, SSH is only accessible via Cloudflare Tunnel, no public ports open.
Q: Can I install my own software?
A: Yes! You have full Root permissions (via Rose):
- Use
aptto install Linux software - Deploy your own Docker containers
- Set up Nginx, databases, and other services
Note: Self-installed software is not covered by RealVco support.
Q: How do I view system logs?
A: Multiple ways:
- Admin Panel: System Logs section
- Container Logs: “Logs” button on each container
- Host Terminal: Directly run
journalctlor check/var/log
