​
Overview

Server settings provide control over your server’s configuration, including server details, SSH key management, and server lifecycle operations.

​
Server Information

​
Basic Server Details

The server settings interface displays server information:

Network Configuration

  • Region: Geographic location of the server
  • Public IP: Internet-facing IP address

Server Identity

  • Server Name: Human-readable server identifier

​
Server Configuration

​
Updating Server Details

1

Access server settings

Navigate to your server dashboard and click on the “Settings” tab.
2

Modify server information

Update the following fields as needed:
  • Name: Change the display name
  • Port: Modify the SSH connection port
  • Server IP: Update if IP address changes
3

Save changes

Click “Save” to apply the configuration changes.
Server name changes are immediately reflected in the dashboard and all related interfaces.

​
SSH Port Configuration

Customize the SSH connection port for enhanced security:
Standard SSH port 22 is configured by default.
Change to any available port (1024-65535) for security through obscurity.
Changing SSH ports requires updating your SSH client configuration and firewall rules.

​
Server SSH Key Management

​
Server’s SSH Key

Each server has a unique SSH key for integrations:
Loupp automatically generates a unique SSH key pair for each server.
Used for server integrations, deployments, and secure communications.

​
Loupp SSH Key

The SSH key added to your server during setup:
Stored in /home/loupp/.ssh/authorized_keys and /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
If accidentally deleted, copy from settings and add back to server.

​
Copying SSH Keys

1

Locate SSH key

Find the SSH public key in the server settings interface.
2

Copy key content

Click the copy button to copy the key content.
3

Use key

Add the key to services requiring server access (GitHub, GitLab, etc.).
The server SSH key is essential for source control integrations and automated deployments.

​
Server Lifecycle Management

​
Server Archiving

Archive servers to temporarily disable them:
1

Access archive option

In the server settings, locate the “Archive Server” section.
2

Confirm archiving

Click “Archive” and confirm the action.
3

Server status change

The server status changes to “Archived” and becomes inactive.
Archived servers are not deleted and can be reconnected and reactivated at any time.

​
Server Destruction

Permanently remove servers:
1

Access destruction option

In server settings, locate the “Destroy Server” section.
2

Confirm destruction

Click “Destroy” and confirm the irreversible action.
3

Destruction process

The server status changes to “Deleting” and removal begins.
Destruction Considerations:
  • Data Loss: All server data is permanently removed
  • Service Impact: Applications and services are stopped
  • Billing: Server billing stops immediately
  • Dependencies: Check for dependent services or load balancers
Server destruction is irreversible. Ensure you have backups of important data before proceeding.
Servers connected to load balancers cannot be destroyed. Remove the load balancer connection first.

​
Server Status Management

​
Status Monitoring

Monitor server health and status:
Server is running normally and accessible.
Server is temporarily disabled in loupp but data is preserved.
Server is being provisioned or configured.
Server is being removed from the system.
Server encountered an issue requiring attention.
