Instances

Instances are how you connect your Blnk Core to your Blnk Cloud workspace. There are two types of instances you can create on Cloud:

---

​

View instance details

To view instance details, click on an instance in the Instances table. You’ll see an instance details panel opened on the right side of your screen.

---

​

Edit instances

To edit an instance, go the Settings > Instances, open its actions list and click Edit instance. You can change the name, update the Core URL, or the Core secret key.

​

Core URL

• Make sure it is publicly accessible on the internet. If locally hosted, use a tunnel service like ngrok: ngrok http 5001 to create a public URL.
• If hosted on a private network, make sure to whitelist our IP addresses so that Cloud can communicate with your ledger:
  • 161.35.166.95
  • 161.35.171.250

​

Core secret key

• This is created and set by you in your Blnk configuration.
• Provide the secret key used/created in your config here. If not set, leave empty.

Remove an instance

To remove an instance, open the actions list and click Destroy instance for a managed instance or Terminate instance for a self-hosted instance. Follow the instructions in the modal to complete the action. Please note that this action is irreversible.
