Live console

Stream server output and send commands from the browser.

Every instance has a Console tab that streams the server's output in real time, straight from the container on the node. No SSH, no docker logs -f: open the tab and the logs are already flowing.

Reading output

The console attaches to the container's output stream through the daemon. You get:

  • Live streaming: new lines appear as the server prints them.
  • Scrollback: recent history is loaded when you open the tab.
  • Live status: the instance's state (starting, running, stopping) is reflected around the console, so you can watch a boot or shutdown as it happens.

Sending commands

Type into the input at the bottom to send commands to the server process: say, op, whitelist add, whatever the game supports. Input requires the console permission on that instance; users with read-only access can watch but not type.

Metrics

CPU and memory usage for the container stream alongside the console, so when the server starts stuttering you can immediately see whether it's starved for resources or something else is wrong.

Who can see this?

Console access is a per-instance permission. See access control to give someone logs-only or full console access.
