These are the steps I took to get setup on compost.party.
I wrote this page off of the top my head (and copied/pasted the content of files); feedback, suggestions and corrections welcome.

If you don’t have a SSH key, generate a SSH key, to do so run:
Open the application Terminal.
$ ssh-keygen
Select default settings.
Copy public key to a file:
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub > ssh_pubkey.txt
The file containing your SSH public key could be name something else; it should end with .pub
.
Send the file ssh_pubkey.txt to yeah@compost.party.
Wait for a confirmation from yeah@compost.party that your username has been created.
Open your Terminal.
Connect to the server:
$ ssh -p23 username@compost.party
You should see a message that asks you whether it is the right fingerprint.
Don’t answer that question yet.
Copy the fingerprint.
Ask yeah@compost.party whether the fingerprint matches.
Once you have received the confirmation that the fingerprint matches, go to your Terminal.
Answer that question; type yes
.
You should be on the server; you should see:
welcome to compost.party!

the setup of this server is currently in progress. you can put some
static files into your `html` folder, or run a service that you think
is cool. just remember that you share this server with other people
and have fun!
if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask (yeah@compost.party)
username@compost ~ $

Read the README:
$ less README.md
Next, you can take a look at the setup I use to upload files onto the server.

PS: I created an alias:
$ echo "alias compost='ssh -p23 username@compost.party'" >> ~/.bash_aliases
