Logs

Access project container logs, with the ability to view logs for individual containers using the container selection box.

Shell

The Shell tab provides direct shell access to your project's pod, allowing you to enter commands as needed. SSH (Secure Shell) access ensures a secure and encrypted connection between your device and the remote machine running the project.

Please note that this shell access is designed for short-term interactions. Sessions may automatically refresh or disconnect after periods of inactivity or if your local device enters sleep mode. Consequently, any running processes may be interrupted.

Persistent Sessions with tmux

To maintain long-running processes or ensure session continuity despite disconnections, you can utilize tmux, a terminal multiplexer that allows you to create detachable and re-attachable shell sessions.​

Installing tmux

apt-get update
apt-get install sudo
sudo apt-get install tmux
