The SimpleCloud Dashboard is the browser interface for your network. Use it to create servers, open their consoles and files, check players, and manage your network. Open dash.simplecloud.app and sign in with your SimpleCloud account.

​
Set up your network

After signing in, create a network for your servers or join an existing network with an invitation code. A new network opens the onboarding guide, which connects the first machine that will run your Minecraft servers.
1

Configure the machine

Choose its operating system, name, memory limit, and Java versions.
2

Run the install command

Copy the generated command and run it in a terminal on that machine. The dashboard detects the installation automatically and then lets you create your first server group or open the dashboard.
For system requirements and troubleshooting, follow the installation guide.

​
Create your first server

Choose how your server should behave:

Server group

Use a group for proxies, lobbies, minigames, and other servers that can share one configuration and scale together.

Persistent server

Use a persistent server for an SMP, build server, or another single server that keeps its files and identity.
Open Server Groups and select Add Group, or open Persistent Servers and select Add Server. The dashboard guides you through the remaining settings.

​
Manage your servers

Use Server Groups and Persistent Servers to configure what SimpleCloud should run. Use Servers to see the server instances that are currently running. Select an instance to view its status, open its console, manage its files, or check its performance. Other common areas include:
  • Players for player activity and history
  • Resources for files and plugin collections
  • Monitoring for network-wide performance
  • Settings for serverhosts, members, roles, and network settings
