Access Your Server Control Panel from a Browser

Finding Your Control Panel URL

When the Dash Dashboard Plugin starts for the first time, it generates a web address and displays it in your server console. Look for a message containing http:// or https:// with a port number (commonly 8080 or similar). Write this address down or bookmark it.

Logging In

1. Open your web browser and paste the control panel URL into the address bar

2. You'll see a login screen—enter your administrator account credentials

3. Once authenticated, you'll land on the main dashboard showing live server statistics

Accessing from Other Devices

If you want to view your dashboard from another computer or phone on the same network, replace localhost in the URL with your server's local IP address. For remote access, configure port forwarding on your router or use a reverse proxy, but always protect the panel with a strong password.

Troubleshooting Connection Issues

If the page won't load, verify the plugin is running by checking the server console for startup messages. Confirm your firewall isn't blocking the dashboard port. Restart the server if needed.
