Servers

In ServerSinc, a server is any remote machine (usually a VPS or cloud VM) that you use to host and run Dockerized applications.

What happens during provisioning?

When you provision a server, ServerSinc performs the following steps:

1. Creates a new server instance on your chosen cloud provider.
   • By default, ServerSinc uses the ubuntu-24.04 image for the server.
2. Runs an installer script to set up:
   • Docker
   • Tugboat
3. Configures SSH access for ServerSinc (in case we need to connect to the server later).
4. Sets up a secure connection between ServerSinc and the server's Tugboat instance.

Managing Servers

You can manage your servers through the ServerSinc dashboard. Here are some common actions:

• Start/Stop: Control the server's power state.
• Reboot: Restart the server.

Deleting a Server

When deleting a server, ServerSinc will:

• Remove any and all Application data associated with that server.
• Stop and delete all Containers running on that server.
• Remove the server from your account.

You will need to remove the VPS or VM instance from your cloud provider manually, as ServerSinc does not handle this automatically yet.
