Local App Management
The Local App Management section offers deep visibility and control over a specific instance of your application as it runs on a selected FluxNode. This is where node-level diagnostics, resource monitoring, debugging, and administrative control come together in one focused workspace.
How To Access
Management → My Active Apps → Manage → Local App Management
Open the Management tab in the Applications menu, select an application from My Active Apps, and click Manage.
Backend Selector
At the top right of each tab, 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.
Whether you're troubleshooting deployment issues, validating system behavior, or ensuring performance stability, this section provides the tools you need to manage your app’s lifecycle on a per-node basis.
Overview of Tabs
1. Specifications
The Specifications tab shows how your app is configured on this specific node vs. its global setup—ideal for spotting config mismatches or verifying deployment accuracy. → Read more about the Specifications tab
2. Information
The Information tab gives you raw, detailed metadata directly from the Docker engine running your app.

3. Monitoring
The Monitoring tab displays real-time and historical performance data from the container environment. You can track stats like CPU, RAM, and storage usage—essential for analyzing trends, spotting anomalies, and understanding runtime behavior.
This tab also includes a Processes view, providing a real-time snapshot of active processes running inside the container.

4. File Changes
The File Changes tab tracks which files and directories have been created, modified, or deleted inside your container.

5. Log Files
The Log Files tab is your window into what your app is saying behind the scenes.
→ Read more about the Log Files tab
6. Application Control
The Application Control tab lets you manage the entire lifecycle of the app instance running on the selected FluxNode.

7. Backup & Restore
Secure and safeguard your data by creating manual backups or restoring your container to a previous state.

8. Interactive Terminal
The Interactive Terminal tab lets you connect to a live terminal session inside your container. You can issue commands, inspect logs, or make real-time changes—all without restarting the app. A volume browser is also available, allowing you to upload, edit, rename, or delete files and folders directly from the UI.

When to Use Local App Management
Use this section when you need:
Node-specific diagnostics and runtime data
Performance or configuration validation at the container level
To troubleshoot issues that aren’t affecting all instances equally
Fine-grained control over one app instance, separate from global behavior
Full access to your container’s environment, filesystem, and data
To create or restore backups before updates, migrations, or cancellations
To debug and test in real-time using terminal commands
To investigate or manage stored logs, temp files, or persistent volume data
Direct manipulation of component-level behavior on the local level
