Getting started

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.

• A Linux systemd host with access to supported stable package repositories, or macOS with launchd.
• An absolute folder containing the projects Manager will operate.
• sudo access for Linux dependency and system-service installation; the macOS agent is installed for the current user.
• On Linux, the installer inventories Git, Docker Engine, Docker Compose, Nginx, and ACL utilities before changing the host.
• On macOS, install a compatible Git and Docker Desktop first; automatic dependency changes are Linux-only.
• DNS and TLS for a public production deployment.

• 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.
