You can register your [Packet](https://www.packet.net/promo/docker-cloud/)
|
|
account credentials in your Docker Cloud account to deploy **nodes** and **node
|
|
clusters** using Docker Cloud's Dashboard, API, and CLI. Your Packet API key is
|
|
required so Docker Cloud can interact with Packet on your behalf to create and
|
|
manage your **nodes** (Packet devices).
|
|
|
|
To link your Packet account so you can launch **nodes** from Docker Cloud,
|
|
navigate to **Account info \> Cloud Providers**. Click **Add credentials**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you already have an API key to use with Docker Cloud, enter it in the
|
|
`Authentication token`.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, open a new tab and log into your Packet account. Click **API Keys**
|
|
from the left menu. Then, click the **+** button at the bottom right corner,
|
|
enter a description for your new API key, and click **Generate**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Copy the **Token** of the new API key.
|
|
|
|
Go back to the Docker Cloud tab and paste the new API key in the `Authentication
|
|
token` field of the `Packet credentials` dialog.
|
|
|
|
## What's next?
|
|
|
|
You're ready to start using Packet as the infrastructure provider for Docker
|
|
Cloud! If you came here from the tutorial, click here to [continue the tutorial
|
|
and deploy your first node](../getting-started/your_first_node.md).
