# Renters

Rent GPUs on [lium.io](https://lium.io) — browse the marketplace, deploy a containerized pod in minutes, pay only for what you use.

This section is **UI-first**: every page walks through the dashboard at [lium.io](https://lium.io) and shows where to click. The matching API and CLI live in the [Developers](/developers) section and are referenced from each page in a collapsed "For agents and automation" block.

## Get going

| Step | What you do | Page |
|------|-------------|------|
| 1 | Sign up, add a payment method, paste an SSH key | [Quickstart](/pod-users/quickstart) |
| 2 | Pick a machine, configure a pod, click Deploy | [Create a pod](/pod-users/create-pod) |
| 3 | Pick the right Docker image (PyTorch, custom, …) | [Templates](/pod-users/templates) |
| 4 | Keep your data across pod sessions | [Volumes](/pod-users/volumes) |
| 5 | Schedule automatic backups of your work | [Backups](/pod-users/backups) |
| 6 | Restore a backup into a new or existing pod | [Restores](/pod-users/restores) |
| 7 | Auto-terminate pods so they stop charging | [Scheduled termination](/pod-users/scheduled-termination) |

## Reference (don't read top-to-bottom)

- [API Keys](/pod-users/api-keys) — generate keys for the CLI, SDK, MCP, or your own AI agent.
- [Pod security](/pod-users/security) — what to never put on a non-CVM pod.
