Using PAUIOps Center
Switch between registered Manager servers and operate the same day-to-day surface — Overview, Terminal, Files, and more — from one hosted workspace.
Choose and sign in to a server
The server picker groups registered destinations by environment (LIVE, STAGING, and so on) and then by location, with search across both. Selecting a server without a valid session for you prompts sign-in against that Manager directly.
Operate the same surface per server
Once a server is active, Center exposes the same day-to-day pages as Manager's own interface, scoped to that Manager: every action here is proxied to the selected Manager's API and WebSocket endpoints, so nothing is Center-local state.
| Page | What it does |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Live CPU, memory, disk, and GPU telemetry for the active server, plus administrator host controls. |
| Overview | Container and image counts, disk usage, and per-project resource rows. |
| Containers | Search and inspect the active server's Docker containers. |
| Images | Pull, build, and remove Docker images on the active server. |
| Terminal | The same real-PTY/line-discipline terminal, project context, and commands.md presets as Manager's Shell page. |
| Files | The same project-scoped editor, preview, and search as Manager's Files page. |
| Processes | Active background processes on the active Manager, with the ability to stop them. |
| Maintenance | Docker CLI info, disk usage, and prune actions for the active server. |
Maintain the server registry (administrators)
Servers is Center's server registry: add a Manager by API URL (Center derives the matching ws:// or wss:// endpoint automatically), test reachability, set a default, enable or disable it, reorder entries, or remove one. Registry writes forward your active Manager session for server-side verification instead of relying on a separate Center-only admin secret.
Manage users and projects across a server
Users and Projects are first-class Center pages scoped to the active server, but they run the same administration workflow as Manager's own Settings page: create, search, and edit users and projects exactly as an administrator would from Manager directly.
Go deeper: domains, firewalls, and recovery
Two workflows are substantial enough to have their own guides: routing a public domain to a Manager and controlling provider firewall access from a Compose port, and the Compose watcher's detection and recovery ladder that Terminal and Files both surface.
