Open the dashboard

The dashboard has two addresses on your machine. For a remote server, you open a tunnel first.

The API address of ferryd serves the dashboard.

The two addresses

Address	What it is
`http://127.0.0.1:7878`	The API address.
`http://ferry.localhost:8080`	The public proxy. It is on by default for a local base domain such as `localhost`.

These are the addresses with the default settings. Then sign in.

Open an SSH tunnel first. Then open http://127.0.0.1:7878 in your browser.

Terminal

ssh -L 7878:127.0.0.1:7878 you@your-server

You can also put the dashboard on a public name with HTTPS. See Production setup.

The dashboard is the admin API

A person who can sign in to the dashboard controls the full server. The server has one administrator account. It has no other users and no roles.

Dashboard tour

The dashboard is the web pages of your Ferry server. It does all that the CLI does.

You sign in with the email and the password of the account of the server.
