Operations Panel Overview
The operations panel is the visual management interface bundled with the official installer. Once DaxPay is installed on the server, first-time deployment, daily configuration, upgrades, and troubleshooting can all be done in a browser; when the panel is unreachable or automation is needed, fall back to the
daxpaycommand on the server.
What the Panel Can Do
- Deployment guidance — from environment check to gateway onboarding, follow the wizard to bring the whole system up
- Runtime management — service status and resource usage, container management, task logs
- Configuration tuning — memory tiers, registry mirrors, port exposure, domain binding, and CDN fronting
- Access security — secure entrance, domain restriction, IP allowlist, two-step verification, CAPTCHA, and login lockout
- Data security — change middleware passwords such as the database, export data backups
- Extension delivery — with code-source credentials configured, build extension-channel images and the three mini-program clients
- Troubleshooting — configuration drift hints, issue handling for the install, login, and runtime stages
The panel itself does not sit in the business traffic path; it only manages and monitors the services running in Docker.
First Use
- Install the panel on the server with a single command — see One-Click Deployment - Install the Operations Panel
- Once installation completes, open the full access URL printed by the installer, for example
http://192.168.1.10:8060/k3x9m2qp4w7nbd5e; the random secure entrance must be kept. Do not open justhttp://192.168.1.10:8060— the bare address returns 404. - Log in with the initial account and password generated at installation. If you forget the initial password, run
daxpay infoon the server; if you forget the secure entrance, rundaxpay entrance showto see the full URL. - Follow the six-step deployment wizard: environment check → global configuration → image build → base environment → service deployment → gateway onboarding
For the shortest path through a first deployment see One-Click Deployment; for an in-depth walkthrough of the six steps see the Deployment Guide.

Without the Panel: the Terminal
The daxpay command on the server can do the same things. Run daxpay (no arguments) to enter the interactive management UI and follow the menus — no need to memorize commands; see Terminal UI (TUI). Use subcommands when you need scripting or automation; for the complete command and parameter reference see Operations Panel Command Line Usage.
