A quick tour of your dashboard
Everything you do to your server happens at panel.qubesquad.com in your web browser. There’s nothing to download. This page is a map of what you’ll find there — every other guide points back to it.
Finding your server
Section titled “Finding your server”After you log in, Servers in the sidebar lists everything you own. Click a server to open it. If a server is still being built you’ll see a progress screen — it updates on its own, so you can leave the page and come back.
The top of the server page
Section titled “The top of the server page”Across the top you’ll find:
- Your server’s name and status — a coloured pill tells you if it’s
running,offline,installing,suspendedand so on. - Its address — shown as a link next to the game name. Click it to open Connection details and copy the address your friends will use. See the connect guides for how each game uses it.
- Power buttons — Start, Restart, Stop and Kill. Use Kill only if the server is frozen or stuck in a crash loop; it force-stops it.
- Live stats — CPU, Memory and Disk meters that turn amber, then red, as they fill up. These are your first clue when something feels laggy.
The tabs
Section titled “The tabs”Below the stats is a row of tabs. Which ones you see depends on your game:
| Tab | What it’s for |
|---|---|
| Console | The live server log. Type commands here just like a server owner would in a terminal. |
| Files | A file manager in your browser — browse folders, edit config files, upload and download. Prefer a desktop app? See Use SFTP. |
| Backups | Create, download, restore, lock and delete backups. Always make one before a big change — see Back up your server. |
| Databases | Create a MySQL database for plugins and mods that need one. |
| Plugins | Search a catalogue and install plugins in one click. Only shown on servers that support them (Paper, Spigot, Rust with Oxide/Carbon, and so on). See Add plugins. |
| Config | A friendly editor for server.properties. Minecraft only. |
| Settings | Rename the server, view your SFTP details, add or remove the Performance Boost, reinstall or switch games, and cancel the server. |
