Server Settings
The Settings tab on the server detail page lets you update server metadata, view system information, and delete the server.
General Settings
Server Name
The display name shown throughout the dashboard. This is a label for your reference only and does not affect anything on the actual server.
- Enter a new name in the Server Name field.
- Click Save Settings.
Timezone
Controls the timezone used by the server's operating system. This affects cron schedules, log timestamps, and application behavior that relies on system time.
- Enter a valid timezone identifier in the Timezone field (e.g.,
UTC,America/New_York,Asia/Kolkata,Europe/London). - Click Save Settings.
A full list of valid timezone identifiers can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones.
Server Information
A read-only panel displays system details collected during provisioning:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| IP Address | The server's public IPv4 address. |
| SSH Port | The port used for SSH connections (default: 22). |
| Hostname | The server's hostname as reported by the OS. |
| OS | Operating system name and version (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04). |
| Provisioned At | Date and time when provisioning completed successfully. |
| Last Heartbeat | How recently the server last communicated with ServerPlane (e.g., "2 minutes ago"). |
Danger Zone
The danger zone section is visually separated with a red border to prevent accidental actions.
Delete Server
Deleting a server removes it from ServerPlane permanently. This action:
- Removes the server record and all associated data from the dashboard
- Removes all application records linked to this server
- Removes all database records linked to this server
- Removes all backup configurations linked to this server
- Removes all audit log entries for this server
What it does not do:
- It does not uninstall software from the actual server
- It does not stop running applications or services on the server
- It does not delete files, databases, or backups stored on the server itself
- It does not revoke SSH access — ServerPlane may still have SSH access to the server until you remove it manually
To delete a server:
- Scroll to the Danger Zone section at the bottom of the Settings tab.
- Click Delete Server.
- Confirm the action in the dialog that appears.
You will be redirected to the Servers list after deletion. This action cannot be undone.
If you plan to reconnect the same server later, you can add it again through the normal Add Server flow. The provisioning process will run from scratch.
