The Settings tab in the Portal contains administrative options for your server: SFTP connection details, rename, reinstall, and egg change (programming language).

​
What you’ll learn

  • Where to find your SFTP connection details
  • How to rename your server
  • How to reinstall your server and when to use it
  • How to change the egg (programming language)

​
SFTP Details

The Settings tab shows your SFTP credentials:
FieldDescription
HostThe SFTP server address
PortThe SFTP port (typically 2022)
UsernameYour Portal username
PasswordYour Portal account password
Use these with any SFTP client (FileZilla, WinSCP, Cyberduck, or the terminal sftp command) to manage files directly from your desktop. SFTP has no file size limits. For a complete guide, see File Manager.

​
Renaming Your Server

Change your server’s display name at any time from the Settings tab. This only affects the name shown in the Portal’s server list — it does not change your hostname, port, or application behavior.

​
Reinstalling Your Server

The Reinstall button resets your server to a clean default state based on its current egg. This re-runs the egg’s installation process and may overwrite certain files in your server directory, depending on how the egg is configured.
Reinstalling does not normally delete all your files automatically, but it can overwrite specific files or cause an incompatible setup depending on your project structure. Creating a backup before reinstalling is strongly recommended. Download your files via SFTP or push your code to GitHub before proceeding.
When to reinstall:
  • Your server environment is broken or corrupted
  • You want a clean default state with the same programming language
  • You are starting a new project and want to reset the server

​
Changing the Egg (Programming Language)

The egg defines your server’s programming language and framework. Switching to a different egg (e.g., from Node.js to Python) is done from the Settings tab. Steps:
  1. Open the Settings tab.
  2. Select your new egg from the dropdown.
  3. Confirm the change.
Changing the egg triggers a reinstall. This does not normally delete all your files automatically, but certain files may be overwritten and your existing setup may become incompatible with the new egg. Creating a backup before changing the egg is strongly recommended. Download your files via SFTP or push your code to GitHub first.
After changing the egg, visit the Startup tab to select the matching Docker image and update your startup command. See Startup Settings.

​
Debug Information

The Settings tab also displays technical information about your server (such as the server UUID and node ID) that can be useful when contacting support.
