Operations

Your server is up and running. Now what?

This section covers all the things you do after Terrarium is installed. Whether you want to change your domain name, set up automated S3 backups, or link multiple servers together into a cluster, you'll find the guides here.

  • Reconfiguration: How to safely change your domains, emails, and login methods without breaking anything.
  • Clustering: How to link multiple Terrarium servers together into a highly available swarm.
  • Backups and Restore: How to use your built-in time machine and off-site S3 exports.
  • Golden Images: How to save a configured container as a reusable launch template.

The terrariumctl Command

Your primary tool for managing Terrarium is terrariumctl. It's a single, powerful command that handles almost everything.

The most common commands you'll use day-to-day are:

  • terrariumctl set domains
  • terrariumctl set emails
  • terrariumctl set idp (To change between local ZITADEL and external OIDC logins)
  • terrariumctl set s3 (To configure off-site backups)
  • terrariumctl image create (To publish reusable golden images)
  • terrariumctl proxy sync (To manually update your network routing rules)
