Appearance

Services – adminbolt Admin Panel ​

The Services page lets administrators view and control system services (daemons) managed by adminbolt, such as the web server, database, mail server, FTP, and cron. You can start, stop, or restart services from the panel.

URL: /admin/services

Overview ​

Instead of using systemd or init scripts directly on the server, you can use the Services page to see the status of key services and perform basic start/stop/restart actions. This is useful for quick recovery or planned maintenance.

Purpose ​

  • List services (e.g. Apache/MyApache, MySQL/MariaDB, Postfix, Dovecot, Vsftpd, Cron) and their current status (running, stopped, failed).
  • Start, stop, or restart individual services.
  • Enable or disable services at boot where the panel supports it.

Prerequisites ​

  • Access to the admin panel in adminbolt.
  • System in the sidebar (System → Services).

Interface Description ​

  • Page heading: Services (h1).
  • Intro text: Check the current status of installed services and manage their installation or restart.
  • Server – Dropdown to select the server (e.g. localhost - 127.0.0.1); used in multi-server setups.
  • Search – Search box to filter services by name.
  • Table – Columns: Name (sortable), Status, Installed, Actions. Each row is one service; actions typically include Start, Stop, Restart, or Install depending on status.

System → Services

Notes ​

  • Stopping critical services (e.g. web or database) will affect all hosting accounts; plan maintenance windows and inform users.
  • If a service fails to start, check Execution Logs or system logs (e.g. journalctl) for errors.
