Mac Mini M4
User Guide

Node initialization is fully automated and typically completes within 1–5 minutes after payment confirmation. When the console status changes to "Running", you can connect. Login credentials are also sent to your email. If the node isn't ready after 10 minutes, submit a ticket with your order number.

Go to the console and click the order to open its details page. The top action bar provides three controls: Power On, Shut Down, and Restart. The status indicator updates in real time — operations typically complete within seconds.

After logging into the console, click any order to open its details page. The "Device Info" section shows full specs for that node: model (Mac Mini M4), CPU (10-core Apple M4), memory (16 GB Unified Memory), storage (256 GB NVMe SSD), network (1 Gbps dedicated bandwidth), and public IPv4 address.

Log in to theConsole, find the target node, click the "VNC" button — the browser-embedded VNC client opens immediately,no software installation required to see the full macOS graphical interface.

Tip: On first access, the system will prompt for a VNC password. You can find it in the "Access Credentials" section of your order details in the console.

The "Access Credentials" section on the console order details page provides a complete SSH connection command in the following format:

Paste and run it in a macOS / Linux terminal or Windows PowerShell. The password is also in the Access Credentials section.

Absolutely. You have full macOS system admin privileges and can install any third-party remote tool — Apple Remote Desktop, TeamViewer, Tailscale, etc. — or enable macOS native Screen Sharing in System Settings.

Each node is a dedicated physical machine with no virtualization layer. You get a real Mac Mini M4 with 100% of the CPU, memory, and storage — no multi-tenant resource contention.

Yes. Each node has one dedicated public IPv4 and a 1 Gbps exclusive network port, not shared with other users. For multi-machine workflows, you can also add TB5 cluster interconnect (80 Gbps node-to-node direct link).

TB5 cluster interconnect physically links multiple Mac Minis via Thunderbolt 5, providing up to 80 Gbps of node-to-node bandwidth. Ideal for iOS build farms, parallel rendering, distributed AI inference, and other workloads requiring high-speed inter-node data transfer. Can be added at checkout.

All nodes have identical hardware specs and pricing — the only differences are geographic location and network coverage:

• Singapore: Best for Southeast Asia access, ideal for businesses targeting overseas markets
• Japan (Tokyo): Core East Asia node with stable latency
• South Korea (Seoul): Low-latency access for Korea and surrounding regions
• Hong Kong: Mainland China-friendly, a popular choice for cross-border teams
• US East: Covers the North American East Coast and Europe

We recommend choosing the node closest to your target users or CI servers for the lowest round-trip latency.

Four tiers available — longer periods mean lower effective daily cost:

Log in to the console. The left sidebar lists all your orders and their status (Running / Expired / Pending Payment). Click any order to view the node expiration date, remaining days, and full payment history.

Weekly, monthly, and quarterly subscriptions have auto-renewal enabled by default. The system will notify you by email before renewal. To disable it, toggle off auto-renewal on the order details page in the console — the node will stop at the end of the current cycle without interrupting service. Daily billing is a one-time payment with no renewal.

We accept major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, plus other payment methods available through Stripe. Checkout is handled by Stripe with 256-bit TLS encryption — ZecCloud never stores any card details.

Click "Login / Register" in the top right corner. Enter your email — the system automatically detects whether it's a new registration or existing login. New users complete email verification and set a password — the entire process takes about 1 minute.

Open the "Login" screen, enter your registered email, and click "Forgot Password?". Verify your identity with an email code and set a new password directly — no need to contact support.

Yes. One account can purchase and manage multiple Mac Mini nodes. The left sidebar in the console lists all your orders at a glance, making it easy to switch between them.

• Console Ticket (Recommended): Log in to the console → click "Technical Support" → describe the issue and include your order number. The tech team responds within 2–24 hours.
• Email: Send to support@zeccloud.com. Please include your account email and order number for faster resolution.

Work through the following steps in order — most issues are resolved in the first two:

1. Click Restart in the console and wait 2–3 minutes before trying to reconnect
2. If still unreachable after restart, click Shut Down → wait 30 seconds → Power On for a cold reboot
3. Check your local network and verify that your device can reach the node's public IP
4. If none of the above works, submit a ticket with your order number — the tech team will prioritize your case
