# Linode

{% hint style="warning" %}
Linode have changed their api so we are in the process at investigating whats needed to enable Linode support for new projects. Not all users are affected, and existing projects seem fine at the moment but you may experience issues with change server actions.
{% endhint %}

To use Linode servers for your LaunchPal projects, you will need to generate a API key.

Linode have a [good document explaining the detailed process](https://www.linode.com/docs/platform/api/api-key/). Here is a summary:

* Login to [Account Manager](https://manager.linode.com/) with your Linode account details
* Select the `my profile` link (you will need to reenter your password for security)
* Select the `API keys` tab
* Set a label, for example `launchpal keys`
* I recommend you don't set an expiration time
* Click `Create API Key`
* Copy the API key shown (only once) in the green confirmation box
