Getting started

Choose Manager alone or connect it to the hosted Center, then verify the infrastructure each path expects.

Choose your setup

Use Manager only when you have one server, the embedded interface is enough, and your team does not need a central server switcher. Manager is 100% free and keeps its full current feature set without Center.

Use Manager with the hosted Center when you operate multiple servers, regions, or environments; want one consistent URL; or need a shared server registry. Register, choose a server-capacity subscription, and connect a reachable Manager endpoint for every server.

Before you install Manager

  • A Linux systemd host, or macOS with launchd.
  • Docker Engine and the Docker Compose plugin on Linux, or Docker Desktop on macOS.
  • An absolute folder containing the projects Manager will operate.
  • sudo access for Linux system-service installation; the macOS agent is installed for the current user.
  • Recommended Linux utilities: rsync, acl, and the SQLite CLI for diagnostics or migrations.
  • DNS, a reverse proxy, and TLS for a public production deployment.

Before you connect Center

  • A PAUIOps Center account with an active 2-server, 5-server, or Unlimited subscription.
  • A reachable PAUIOps Manager on every server you want to connect.
  • Browser network access to each Manager API and WebSocket endpoint.
  • HTTPS, matching wss:// Manager WebSocket URLs, and the hosted Center origin allowed by every Manager.
