Server Roles

Server Roles

Each role in Enhance is containerized, allowing servers in the cluster to provide various services, such as Application, Email, Database, Backup, and DNS roles.

Key Operations:

1. Install a Role:

   • Open Servers in the left sidebar.
   • Select Manage on the server to add a role.
   • Scroll to Roles and click Add Role.
   • Select the desired roles and click Add services.

   Tip: You can navigate away from the server page while the installation is in progress.

   Warning: New roles won’t be mapped to websites automatically. Use the "move server" option to link websites to the new role.

2. Override Global Role Settings:

   • Some global settings can be overridden per role, such as:
     • Email Role: SMTP relay configuration.
     • Application Role: PHP FPM and PHP INI settings.
     • Database Role: Custom my.cnf directives.
   • To override, go to Servers, select Manage, navigate to the role, and click Settings.

3. Delete a Role:

   • Deleting a role will remove the service and all associated containers and data.
   • Tip: Ensure no websites are mapped to the role before deleting.

4. Disable/Enable a Role:

   • Disabling prevents new websites from being added to that service but won’t affect existing ones.
   • To disable: Select the service in the server’s Roles tab and click Disable role.
   • To enable: Select the service and click Enable role.

5. Restart a Role:

   • Graceful Restart: Waits for all processes to finish before restarting.
   • Forceful Restart: Immediately kills all processes.
   • To restart, navigate to Services in the server management page, select the service, and click Restart now.
