Understanding the Server Dashboard
Learn how to use the server overview dashboard to monitor resources and manage your VPS.
Dashboard layout
The server dashboard shows:
- Resource Usage: CPU, RAM, and disk usage at a glance
- Server Info: OS, location, provider, uptime
- Quick Actions: Docker setup, security audit, terminal access
- Deployed Apps: List of all applications on this server
Resource monitoring
View real-time resource usage:
- CPU: Current and historical CPU utilization
- Memory: Used vs available RAM
- Disk: Storage usage on the root filesystem; with more than one disk, the card also counts disks and how many are not mounted. Every disk, partition and mount point is listed under Disks & Storage (see Disks & Storage)
- Network: Bandwidth usage (with monitoring agent)
Install the optional monitoring agent for detailed metrics and historical graphs.
Server information
The info panel displays:
- Operating system and version
- Server location (if detectable)
- VPS provider
- IP address and hostname
- Authentication method
- Uptime

Disks & Storage
See every disk on your server, with partitions and mount points grouped under each physical disk and attached volumes that were never mounted called out. Mount one from the app, with an optional /etc/fstab entry by UUID and nofail so the server still boots without it.
