Server Management
Monitor, maintain, and manage your cloud servers. Reset passwords, reinstall, check resource usage, and more.
Every server you create on Dublyo is a dedicated cloud machine running on Hetzner Cloud. From your dashboard you have full control over the server lifecycle — start, stop, restart, reinstall, or delete at any time. This guide covers everything you need to know about managing your servers day-to-day.
Monitoring
View CPU, RAM, and disk usage for each server directly from your dashboard. Each server card displays real-time resource metrics so you can keep an eye on performance without needing to SSH into the machine.
Status Indicators
Every server displays a status badge that tells you its current state at a glance.
| Status | Color | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Running | Green | Server is online and operating normally. Apps are accessible. |
| Stopped | Gray | Server is powered off. No billing while stopped. |
| Provisioning | Yellow | Server is being created and configured. Usually takes 2-4 minutes. |
| Error | Red | Something went wrong. Check details or contact support. |
Resource Metrics
- CPU Usage — percentage of processing power currently in use
- RAM Usage — memory consumption across all running containers
- Disk Usage — storage space used by your OS, apps, and data
Server Actions
You can perform several actions on your servers directly from the dashboard. Each action is available from the server detail page.
Start / Stop Server
Power your server on or off. When a server is stopped, billing pauses immediately — you are not charged for stopped servers. Start it again anytime to resume.
Restart
Perform a graceful reboot of your server. This is useful if an app is unresponsive or you need to apply system-level changes. All containers restart automatically.
Reset Root Password
Generate a new root password for SSH access. The new password is displayed once — make sure to copy it immediately. The old password is invalidated.
Reinstall OS
Wipe the server completely and start fresh. This destroys all data, containers, and configurations on the server. The server is re-provisioned with a clean Docker + Traefik setup.
Portainer Access
Each server runs Portainer, a powerful web-based container management UI. Portainer gives you direct control over your Docker environment without needing to use the command line.
How to Access Portainer
Open your server
Navigate to the Servers page and click on the server you want to manage.
Click the Portainer link
On the server detail card, click the Portainer URL to open the management interface in a new tab.
Manage your containers
From Portainer you can view logs, restart containers, manage volumes, inspect networks, and more.
What You Can Do in Portainer
- Containers — start, stop, restart, view logs, and inspect running containers
- Volumes — manage persistent storage attached to your apps
- Networks — view and configure Docker networks
- Images — see which Docker images are pulled on the server
- Stacks — deploy and manage Docker Compose stacks directly
Deleting a Server
If you no longer need a server, you can delete it to stop all billing immediately. Follow these steps to delete a server.
Open the server
Go to the Servers page and click on the server you want to delete.
Click the Delete button
On the server detail page, click the Delete button.
Confirm deletion
A confirmation dialog will appear. Confirm to permanently destroy the server.
Troubleshooting
Running into issues? Here are solutions to the most common server problems.
Server stuck in Provisioning
Server provisioning typically takes 2-4 minutes. If your server has been in the "Provisioning" state for more than 5 minutes, there may be an issue with the cloud provider. Wait a few more minutes, then contact support@dublyo.com if the problem persists.
Can't connect to my server or apps
First, check that the server status is Running (green). If the server is stopped, start it from the dashboard. If it is running but apps are unreachable, try performing a Restart from the server actions. This reboots the server and restarts all containers.
High resource usage
If your server's CPU or RAM usage is consistently high, your apps may need more resources. Consider upgrading to a larger server type. You can create a new server with a bigger plan, redeploy your apps to it, and then delete the old server. Alternatively, spread your apps across multiple servers.
App not responding after deploy
Open Portainer and check the container logs for error messages. Common causes include missing environment variables, port conflicts, or insufficient memory. Verify your app's configuration and redeploy if needed.
Lost root password
If you've lost your server's root password, use the Reset Root Password action from the server detail page. A new password will be generated and displayed. Make sure to save it in a secure location.
