Server Administration

The operator toolkit — domains, SSL, layered backups, scheduled jobs, and multi-site deployment across the fleet.

Domains & SSL

Domains Manager (Server Tools) creates Apache vhosts and document roots for a new site. Click SSL on a domain to run Let’s Encrypt — it probes DNS for each subdomain first and skips ones that aren’t configured, so the certificate request doesn’t fail on a missing www.

Backups

• Per-site (ServerBackupsManager) — back up a single site’s app, data, and/or media on demand; download or restore from the admin.
• Automated fleet — nightly per-site data snapshots and weekly full snapshots (app + data + media), all streamed to Google Drive and verified.
• Rollback — every deploy writes a rollback snapshot first; restore with the rollback tool.

Scheduled jobs (Cron Manager)

Cron Manager shows the automation schedule — backups and other jobs — with a backup scoreboard (counts, sizes, per-site tiers) and a rail warning if disk is low or a backup run failed.

Multi-site deployment

The fleet is push-only: you edit the canonical source once and push it out with the deploy tools. Each site gets only the modules its distribution resolves to, so a change lands everywhere consistently. Changes ship to a canary site first, then the fleet on your go-ahead.
