Host overview

The Overview page is the starting point for one Linux server. It opens on shortcuts to the things a visit usually starts, then the machine's live readings, your projects, open shells, drawings, databases and backup jobs, with each row opening the thing it names. Just Dashboard 0.8.4 manages one machine; the overview is not a fleet view.

1. Check the identity line for the distribution, kernel, hostname, processor, cores, hypervisor, uptime, and process count. This tells you which machine you are looking at before you act.
2. Use Shortcuts to start work: New project, Add a database, New shell, New drawing, Browse files, Add a computer, and Back up. Each card counts what it adds to, such as the projects or backup jobs that already exist. New drawing creates a drawing and opens it in Excalidraw; Add a computer starts adding one to Remote Desktop.
3. Read Resources. CPU, memory, load, and network update live and carry their last hour as a sparkline; CPU adds a bar per core. The storage band under them shows each filesystem's free space and total beside live disk I/O. All metrics opens Metrics.
4. Scan Deployments for up to six projects, the ones that need you first. All projects opens the rest.
5. Pick up where you left off. Terminal lists the shells open on the server, working ones first; selecting one opens the terminal on that session. Drawings shows the drawings edited last.
6. Check Databases and Backups side by side. Each database says whether it answers; every backup job is ordered by its own last run, so a failed job is listed first and is not hidden by another job that succeeded later. If your role can control services, start a job from its row.
7. Compare Top processes (by CPU, memory, or I/O) with Recent activity for the last 24 hours. Administrators can follow Audit log for the full trail.
8. Use the Services tiles to open Docker, Proxy & TLS, Security, Packages, System services, Git, Remote Desktop, and the dashboard's own Settings. System services shows failed systemd units in red while there are any.

For a spike that has already passed, open Metrics. For a service problem, follow the relevant tile to Docker, Processes, or Logs. The overview gives you the next place to look; it does not diagnose the cause. It no longer shows a health verdict or a list of findings; read the measurements and follow them to the page that owns them.

What appears for your accountCopy Anchor Link

The page shows only what your account keeps in its sidebar and may use. A section hidden under Account → Workspace loses its shortcut, block, and tile here, and the dashboard does not read its data for the page. A shortcut you lack the role for is left out rather than shown as a dead button: creating projects, databases, and backups is for administrators, the terminal needs the terminal capability, and Remote Desktop appears for administrators. See first sign-in for how the sidebar is chosen.

Know what the page coversCopy Anchor Link

The readings are measurements, not an application check. A service can be running while its website or database query fails. Look at its own logs, health check, and recent deployment when the host looks healthy but the application does not.

The Settings tile opens Settings → Version, where you can see the installed release, update status, and release history. These docs describe 0.8.4; compare that number with the running installation if a control looks different.
