Servers

Servers are the backbone of your infrastructure, providing the resources and environment needed to run your applications. Each server is a virtual machine or container that can be configured with its own resources, such as CPU, memory, and storage.

What happens during provisioning?

When you provision a server, Serversinc performs the following steps:

1. Creates a new server instance on your chosen cloud provider.
2. Runs an installer script to set up Docker and Tugboat.
3. Configures SSH access for Serversinc (in case we need to connect to the server later).
4. Sets up a secure connection between Serversinc and the server’s Tugboat instance.

Operating System

We use the latest Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Support) release as the base image for all server instances. This ensures that you have a stable and secure environment for your applications.

Managing Servers

You can manage your servers through the Serversinc dashboard. Here are some common actions:

• Start/Stop: Control the server’s power state.
• Reboot: Restart the server.
• Run Command: Execute a command on the server.

Deleting a Server

When deleting a server, Serversinc will:

• Remove any and all Application data associated with that server.
• Stop and delete all Containers running on that server.
• Remove the server from your account.

Danger

If the server was provisioned through Serversinc, it will also be removed from your cloud provider account.
