Support Webtools just got an upgrade!

New Stuff​

Support has a few new tools to work with. Key functionality:

1. Lockdown a bolt - you can now quickly do a soft-lock or hard-lock (i.e. for non-payment, etc);
2. View/export all SSH access to a site - see who and why someone accessed a vhost historically;
3. Get emergency access to a site - gain access to a vhost for a defined period of time; and
4. Add/remove SSH keys to staff accounts - functionality for admins only.

Next steps​

Be sure to read up on the new documentation posted here. Then explore the new things in Webtools. Finally, as always, reach out to the dev team with comments/questions/suggestions.

Support Webtools is now live!

Intro​

Webtools is a set of tools that Servebolt support team members can use to accomplish common server-related tasks in their web browser.

Please explore the documention for details, but as a quick overview here's what you can do now using Webtools:

1. Find a Bolt using only the MySQL database name;
2. Order a LetsEncrypt certificate for a domain; and
3. Block all http/https access for an IP address from any or all servers.

Implementation details​

The new frontend is built in VueJS with Tailwind CSS. This communicates with a Laravel API running on backend. Laravel reads and writes relevant information from our PostgreSQL database running on the centralized prod server. And any database writes from Laravel that require action are detected by the SSLMan service on the prod server or the relevant Vhostman service on the appropriate servers.

What you can do​

This is a growing service, so you should it improve over time. Your input is valuable, so please contact the dev team if you have any feedback.
