Creating a new server in Oysape

This process lets you efficiently manage multiple servers and their credentials, providing quick access through Oysape's easy-to-use interface. The ability to save and reuse credentials, along with options to add tags and startup tasks, makes it a powerful tool for server management and DevOps workflows.

  • The main Oysape interface lists existing servers on the left sidebar. To add a new server, click the "…" icon and choose "Add a new server" in the dropdown menu.

  • This opens a "New Server" tab in the main workspace area. Here, you'll need to fill in the following details:
    • Server Name: Enter a unique name for your server
    • Hostname: Provide the IP address or domain name which could be defined in your hosts file
    • Port: Default is set to 22 (standard SSH port)
    • Tags: Add relevant tags to categorize your server (e.g., "aws" for Amazon Web Services)

  • Please note that login credentials are managed separately in [My Credentials] and are not stored within the server settings. Credentials are specific to your device and are never uploaded or stored outside of it.

  • After filling in the required information, you can click "Save" to create the server, or "Run it" to immediately run a task on the server.

  • Once saved, the new server will appear on the left sidebar with its assigned tags.

  • To manage credentials for the new server, click on the "Credential" option when hovering over the server name.

  • This opens a "Choose Credential" dialogue where you can add, remove, or select existing credentials for the server. The dialogue shows a list of available credentials, their types (e.g., Private Key), and options to choose, edit, or delete each credential.

  • After setting up the credentials, you can connect to the server. Here are a few options:
    • Enter @ in the quick search bar, choose the server
    • Use the quick access toolbar at the bottom of the server item, which includes options for Run Task, Terminal, Edit, Delete, and other tools
