+A new server can be created on DreamHost Cloud from the command line
+using openstack client or from the web UI and with the same command
+use a cloud-init script to install Dokku. Install the [openstack
+cli](https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/216185658-How-to-Install-the-OpenStack-command-line-clients),
+download the [DreamHost Cloud credentials
+file](https://iad2.dreamcompute.com/project/access_and_security/api_access/openrc/)
+before proceeding and make sure your public SSH key is added to the
+cloud.
+
+```sh
+source openrc.sh # Set the environment variables for DreamHost Cloud
+```
+
+This allows openstack client to connect to DreamHost API endpoints.
+The command below creates a new server named `my-dokku-instance` based
+on Ubuntu 14.04, with 2GB RAM and 1CPU (the flavor called
+`semisonic`), opening network port access to http and ssh (the
+`default` security group), and the name of the chosen SSH key. This
+key will be automatically added to the new server in the
+`authorized_keys` for the default SSH user (`dhc-user`), and it will
+be reused by Dokku.
