Server Sections
When you open a server in the Console, the side panel lets you switch between several management screens. Not every screen appears on every server — what you see depends on the server type and the permissions your role grants. This page is the reference for what each screen does and when it's visible.
All sections #
| Section | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Summary | System info (OS, kernel, PHP version), public IP, connection status, resource graphs, recent activity, projects on this server |
| Settings | Name, IP, timezone, environment tag, monitoring toggle |
| Security | Security defaults, firewall rules, SSH keys overview, transfer to another organization, delete server. See Server Security. |
| SSH Keys | Server-level SSH keys — keys that grant access to this server specifically. Account-level keys are managed under Configuration → SSH Keys. |
| PHP Settings | PHP configuration: memory limit, upload size, raw php.ini editor. See PHP Configuration. |
| Database | Database users, password rotation, connection URL, config editor. See Database Server. |
| Redis | Cache engine (Redis or Valkey): connection URL, password rotation, config editor. See Cache Server (Redis). |
| Meilisearch | Meilisearch connection details, master key, configuration. See Meilisearch Server. |
| Concurrent Deploys | How many deploys may run on this server at once. See Concurrent Deploys. |
| Monitoring | CPU / RAM / Disk graphs and alert rules. See Server Monitoring. |
| Firewall | UFW rules — what’s allowed in from the public internet. See Server Security → Firewall. |
| Scheduled Jobs | Cron-style scheduled tasks at the server level. See Scheduled Tasks. |
| Background Jobs | Long-lived background processes (queue workers, custom daemons). See Background Jobs. |
| Load Balancer | Backend pool, algorithm, domains. See Load Balancer. |

A few notes:
- Database is also visible on App Servers when you install a database engine alongside the application. The same management screen serves both arrangements.
- PHP Settings depends on whether PHP is installed on the server. App Servers always have it; other server types only if you opted in during setup.
- Concurrent Deploys is hidden on Database and Cache Servers because they don’t run deployments.
Permission — who can see and change what #
Visibility on the side panel also depends on permission. The defaults map to roles described under Members:
| Section | View | Edit |
|---|---|---|
| Summary | Anyone with server access | — |
| Settings | Anyone with server access | Owner / Admin / Manager / Developer |
| Security | Anyone with server access | Owner / Admin / Manager |
| SSH Keys | Owner / Admin / Manager / Developer | Owner / Admin / Manager / Developer |
| PHP Settings | Owner / Admin / Manager / Developer | Owner / Admin / Manager / Developer |
| Database | Anyone with server access | Owner / Admin / Manager / Developer |
| Redis | Anyone with server access | Owner / Admin / Manager / Developer |
| Meilisearch | Anyone with server access | Owner / Admin / Manager / Developer |
| Concurrent Deploys | Owner / Admin / Manager / Developer | Owner / Admin / Manager / Developer |
| Monitoring | Anyone with server access | Owner / Admin / Manager / Developer |
| Firewall | Owner / Admin / Manager / Developer | Owner / Admin / Manager / Developer |
| Scheduled Jobs | Owner / Admin / Manager / Developer | Owner / Admin / Manager / Developer |
| Background Jobs | Owner / Admin / Manager / Developer | Owner / Admin / Manager / Developer |
| Load Balancer | Anyone with server access | Owner / Admin / Manager / Developer |
If a member is scoped to a subset of servers, they only see those servers — and only the sections their role allows on them. See Members → Scopes.
Switching between sections #
Click a section in the side panel to switch. Each section loads on demand; once loaded, switching back within a few minutes shows the same data instantly. Use the Reload (⟳) button in the section header if you suspect the data has changed since you last opened it — for example after a teammate edited the firewall.
Restart actions #
Service and server restarts live in the More menu in the server header, not in the individual sections. See Console Overview → Restart actions for what’s available on each server type.
