How to install BentoPDF on VPSnet
Install BentoPDF from Applications with managed HTTPS. It opens directly to the PDF tool grid — no login, owner account, or one-time credentials.
Prerequisites
Only what you need before the install steps below — nothing repeated from the guide.
A VPSnet account with access to the control panel.
A VPS or Cloud VPS that meets the BentoPDF resource guidance on the product page.
Install BentoPDF from the panel
Follow the Applications panel path end to end. Each step covers one action only.
Choose a plan for BentoPDF
Open the BentoPDF product page and note minimum and recommended vCPU, RAM, and disk. Order a new Cloud VPS or VPS, or use a running server that still has free capacity.
Install from Applications
In the service panel open Applications → BentoPDF → Install. Leave VPSnet address selected unless you need another mode under Advanced access. This recipe version exposes no Additional settings, Optional packs, or one-time panel credentials. Click Install — defaults are enough. If the panel shows an Application runtime setup notice, Install still proceeds — there is no extra checkbox.
Open the managed HTTPS URL
When BentoPDF exposes a web UI, VPSnet assigns a *.vpsnet.cloud hostname. A short Certificate pending state is normal while DNS and SSL finish. When the status is active, use Open URL in Applications.
Complete a real PDF task
Open BentoPDF directly — there is no sign-in or first-run wizard. Choose Compress PDF, JPG to PDF, or Merge PDF, upload a disposable sample, and download the result. Files are processed in the browser.
Operate from the panel
Use Applications for restart, logs, health, update, and uninstall. Avoid editing the host Compose by hand — catalog installs are version-pinned managed recipes.
Options in the install dialog
The Applications → Install dialog is more than a single Install button. These controls appear when the recipe supports them. Safe defaults apply if you leave optional fields unchanged.
Application access
Choose how you reach the app at install time: VPSnet HTTPS (managed *.vpsnet.cloud), Private (this server only), Public IP (cleartext HTTP), Managed HTTPS on a DNS zone you own, or External HTTPS when you terminate SSL. You can change this later on the installation page.
Additional settings
This recipe version exposes no customer-editable Additional settings or Optional packs. Choose Application access and confirm a runtime restart if the panel asks.
Runtime restart
The first managed app on a server may need a short runtime restart. The dialog asks for confirmation. Later installs on the same server usually skip this.
First usage of BentoPDF
BentoPDF has no owner account or setup wizard. Open the managed URL and complete one disposable test task before using it with important documents.
Choose a browser PDF tool
The tool grid is the application home. Choose Compress PDF for a quick check, or use JPG to PDF and Merge PDF to validate multi-file work. No account creation is required.
Download and verify the result
Upload a disposable sample, run the selected tool, download the output, and open it locally. The reviewed canary completed compression, JPG-to-PDF, and PDF merge successfully.
All configuration variables
This recipe version exposes no customer-editable configuration fields and does not generate one-time panel credentials. Complete account setup inside the application.

How you reach the app and set up your account
This recipe does not generate one-time panel credentials. Open the application and follow its own owner setup or sign-in flow.

FAQ
01Open URL is disabled or still preparing.
Confirm the installation health is green and wait for managed DNS and SSL to become active. If the access state does not progress, contact support with the server and installation IDs; do not bypass it with an unrelated proxy.
02Open URL still shows Certificate pending after several minutes.
Confirm the install health is green, then wait for DNS/SSL to finish. If access settings offer temporary public HTTP, you can use it only as a short workaround.
03I need environment variables that are not in the install form.
Only customer-editable blueprint fields are exposed at install and in the table below. Remaining env belongs to the managed recipe. Custom Compose is a separate advanced option when enabled on the service.
