Control
The Control tab gives you full authority over the lifecycle of your deployed application. Whether you're performing routine maintenance, recovering from an issue, or testing changes, this tab is your command center for starting, stopping, pausing, redeploying, or removing the app.
How To Access
My Apps → Active Apps → App Details → Manage App → Local App Management → Control
Navigate to the My Apps tab, select an application from Active Apps, click Manage App, then go to the Local App Management section and open the Control tab.
Backend Selector
At the top you'll find a FluxNode IP selector, letting you choose which node you want to inspect or control. This allows you to manage individual node instances of your app. A reload button is also available to refresh the list of currently active FluxNodes running your application.
Overview Of Functions
Start / Stop / Restart
Start App
Launches the application if it's currently stopped.
Stop App
Gracefully stops the running application and terminates its processes.
Restart App
Stops and immediately starts the app again — useful for applying configuration changes or recovering from temporary issues.
Pause / Unpause
Pause App
Suspends all active processes within the app without shutting it down. This is like hitting a “pause button” on execution.
Unpause App
Resumes previously paused processes and returns the app to its active running state.
Redeploy
Soft Redeploy App
Restarts the app while preserving persistent data. Ideal for safe updates or config changes.
Hard Redeploy App
Wipes persistent data and redeploys the app from scratch. Use with caution — this is best for full resets or destructive testing.
Pro tip: Always use Soft Redeploy unless you intentionally want to delete stored application state.
Remove
Remove App
Uninstalls the app and deletes all associated data from the current selected FluxNode running the application. This will result in the app being deployed on a different FluxNode.
Use this when you want to migrate this application from the current FluxNode to a new one.
