# Portal Overview

> What the Daki Portal is, how to access it, and what each tab does — your server management hub.

The **Portal** ([portal.daki.cc](https://portal.daki.cc)) is your server management hub. All servers — Free Tier and paid — are managed here. It is built on a customized Pterodactyl panel.

## What you'll learn

* How to log in to the Portal
* Which services are managed here (and which are not)
* What each tab in the Portal does

***

## How to Log In

**Option 1 — SSO (recommended):** Click the "Login to Portal" or "Login via <Tooltip tip="Single sign-on — one-click Portal login with no separate password.">SSO</Tooltip>" button available in both the <Tooltip tip="The free-hosting site (dash.daki.cc) where you manage your free server.">Free Tier Dashboard</Tooltip> and the <Tooltip tip="Daki's billing site (billing.daki.cc) for plans, invoices, credits, and payments.">Billing Panel</Tooltip>. This logs you in automatically without a password.

* Free Tier Dashboard SSO: [dash.daki.cc](https://dash.daki.cc) → **Credentials** tab
* Billing Panel SSO: [billing.daki.cc](https://billing.daki.cc) → active service page

**Option 2 — Manual login:** Log in directly at [portal.daki.cc](https://portal.daki.cc) with your Portal email and password.

## Portal Tabs

Every server in the Portal has the following tabs:

### Console

View live server output and send input to your running process. Includes power action buttons (Start, Stop, Restart, Kill). See [Console & Power Actions](./console).

### Files

Browse your server's filesystem in the browser. Upload files, create and edit files, extract archives, and manage directories. See [File Manager](./file-manager).

### Splits *(Paid Plans Only)*

Create and manage additional server instances and database servers within your plan's resource budget. See [Understanding Splits](./splits).

### Subusers

Add other Daki users to your server with granular permissions. See [Subusers](./subusers).

### Network

View your server's hostname and port. On paid plans, add additional port <Tooltip tip="A public hostname + port pair assigned to your server.">allocations</Tooltip>. See [Network & Allocations](./network-allocations).

### Startup

Select your <Tooltip tip="The specific runtime version your server's container runs (e.g. Node.js 22).">Docker image</Tooltip> (<Tooltip tip="The time budget a Free Tier server runs for; extend it by watching ads.">runtime</Tooltip> version), set the install command (for dependencies), and configure your startup command. See [Startup Settings](./startup-settings).

### Settings

View <Tooltip tip="Secure File Transfer Protocol — upload/download files with no size limits.">SFTP</Tooltip> connection details, rename your server, reinstall it, or change the programming language (<Tooltip tip="A preconfigured template that sets your server's language and type.">egg</Tooltip>). See [Server Settings](./server-settings).

### Activity

A log of recent actions on your server — starts, stops, file changes, and user actions.
