What you are using
X Systems Hosting uses Hydrodactyl as the interface for the Pterodactyl server panel. Pterodactyl is the server-management system underneath it; Hydrodactyl is the panel experience you use to control the server.
- Console: start, stop, restart, and read application output
- Files: upload, edit, rename, move, archive, and delete files
- Startup: review the command and environment variables exposed by the server egg
- Backups: create and restore backups when backup slots are available
- SFTP: transfer many files with an SFTP client using the credentials shown by the panel
How to open a server
- 1Open the X Systems Hosting dashboard.
- 2Choose Discord Bot Hosting or Web Hosting.
- 3Open Manage, then select the server.
- 4Use the panel button or server link to open that server in Hydrodactyl.
What not to change blindly
Do not replace startup commands, container images, ports, or egg variables unless you understand what your application requires. A server can look healthy in the dashboard while the application itself repeatedly crashes because of a wrong startup command, missing dependency, or missing environment value.
When debugging
Read the first useful error in the console. Repeated restart messages are usually a symptom; the earlier application error is the part that tells you what to fix.
