Server Overview

When you click a server in the Console sidebar, the main panel opens that server's view. The default screen is Summary, with a side panel that lets you switch to other management screens (Settings, Security, Database, Monitoring, and so on).

This page covers the parts of a server view that are common to every server type. For type-specific details, see Server Sections, Database Server, Cache Server (Redis), Meilisearch Server, and Load Balancer.

Summary

The Summary screen is the first thing you see when you open a server. It shows:

  • System info — operating system, kernel version, PHP version (on App Servers), uptime
  • Public IP and connection status — Depfloy continuously checks SSH reachability and reports it here
  • Resource usage — CPU, memory, and disk graphs (when monitoring is installed)
  • Environment tag — Production / Staging / Dev / Untagged
  • Recent activity — last deployments, recent alerts, recent member actions
  • Projects on this server — quick links to each

Settings

The Settings screen lets you change basic server attributes:

  • Name — how the server appears in the sidebar
  • Public IP — if your provider rotates IPs (after a power cycle, for instance) update it here so Depfloy can reconnect
  • Timezone — Depfloy sets the system timezone using timedatectl
  • Environment — tag with Production, Staging, Dev, or leave blank
  • Monitoring toggle — install or remove the monitoring agent (see Server Monitoring)

You can view the auto-generated root password from the Settings screen as well, in case you ever need it for a manual login.

Restarts and service restarts

The "More" menu in the server header opens shortcuts for restart actions:

  • Restart Server — a full reboot of the machine
  • Restart Redis / PostgreSQL / MySQL / ClickHouse / Meilisearch — only the services actually installed on this server appear

You'll always see a confirmation dialog before any restart runs. See Console Overview → Restart actions for the full UI.

A few sidebar conveniences worth knowing about:

  • Group by — None / Environment / Server type. Your choice is remembered across browsers and devices.
  • Pin — pin servers you visit most. Pinned servers go to the top of the sidebar in their own group, regardless of grouping.
  • Search — filters servers and projects by name as you type.

For the full sidebar tour, see Console Overview.
